Dunbar's syndrome.
The authors report the case of a 70-year-old female patient presenting with nausea, epigastric pain, anorexia and a loss of weight. An aortography showed a compression of the celiac trunk. The patient became asymptomatic and her clinical condition improved after surgical release of the celiac trunk by section of the arcuate ligament of the diaphragm. A preliminary attempt at percutaneous transluminal angioplasty proved unsuccessful.
