title: [Compression stenosis of the celiac trunk in children and adolescents].
abstract: Operations for compression stenosis of the celiac trunk (CSCT) were made on 97 patients aged 5.5-18 years (56 women and 41 men). Three basic clinical syndromes were observed: pain abdominal, dyspeptic and neurovegetative. The appearance or intensification of abdominal pains observed in 71.3% of the patients were connected with meal, in 59.69% of them it was simultaneous with physical exercise. The diagnosis of OSCT was based mainly on findings of ultrasonic duplex scanning. The indications to decompression of the celiac trunk were: clinical manifestations of CSCT, the stenosis degree at the maximal expiration more than 50%, peak systolic velocity of the blood flow more than 2 m/s and a gradient of arterial pressure more than 15 mm Hg. The decompression of the celiac trunk consisted in the dissection of a median arcuate ligament of the diaphragm, its interior crura and celiac ganglion fibers. Convalescence and recovery was stated in 87 of 97 patients in the nearest and long-term follow-up.
