Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome: A Case Report2019 •
The median arcuate ligament passes superior to the origin of the celiac artery and is a continuation of the posterior diaphragm that wraps over the aorta. If it lies too low on the aorta, the ligament may cause symptoms of abdominal pain related to compression of the celiac artery.An abdominal ultrasound in a 22-year-old man with longstanding abdominal pain after eating showed elevated celiac artery velocities of >300 cm/s upon inspiration. Computed tomography angiography of the abdomen showed stenosis of the origin of the celiac artery and confirmed the diagnosis of median arcuate ligament syndrome. Release of the median arcuate ligament resulted in relief of the patient's symptoms.The diagnosis of median arcuate ligament syndrome should be considered in patients with postprandial abdominal pain that does not have a clearly established etiology.

Median arcuate ligament syndrome2003 •
To describe the importance of obtaining erect views when evaluating the celiac artery with sonography. Two patients had duplex and color flow Doppler sonographic evaluations of the celiac artery, including inspiration, expiration, and erect views. Both patients had elevated celiac artery velocities with inspiration and expiration. These results alone would suggest celiac artery stenosis. With erect views, the celiac artery velocities returned to normal. The addition of erect views allowed the correct diagnosis of median arcuate ligament syndrome to be made. When evaluating the celiac artery, it is important to include erect views to prevent misdiagnosis of celiac artery stenosis.

Median Arcuate Ligament Compression on Celiac Trunk during Liver Transplantation Procedure2022 •
Low insertion of median arcuate ligament (MAL) can cause compression over the celiac trunk with subsequent complications. During liver transplantation procedure, the graft artery is usually anastomosed with the hepatic artery of the recipient, which arises from the celiac trunk. MAL compression might reduce hepatic arterial blood flow to the graft, which can induce postoperative hepatic arterial thrombosis, causing graft failure. Here, we report a case of liver transplant procedure, during which pulsation of hepatic artery of the recipient diminished dramatically, after ligation of gastro-duodenal artery. However, dissection and division of MAL restored excellent hepatic arterial blood flow. This case highlights the significance of prompt diagnosis and management of MAL compression syndrome in liver transplant recipients during transplant surgery. Key Words: Celiac trunk, Median arcuate ligament, Liver transplant.

Clinical and multidetector computed tomography findings of patients with median arcuate ligament syndrome2012 •
The compression of the proximal part of the celiac trunk by median arcuate ligament of the diaphragm during expiration is defined as median arcuate ligament syndrome. It is a rare cause of chronic mesenteric ischemia. We report two cases with this syndrome, primarily diagnosed by Doppler ultrasound. The diagnosis was confirmed with digital substraction and computed tomography angiography in both cases. The role of ultrasound in the diagnostic work up of this syndrome is discussed with regard to the recent literature.
