Superior mesenteric artery syndrome and nutcracker syndrome in a patient with pectus carinatum and spine scoliosis.

A male patient with pectus carinatum and spine scoliosis deformity presented with a 7-day history of recurrent episodes of nausea, vomiting and abdominal distention. He reported a weight loss of about 10 kg in the last 6 months and an altered eating habit. The contrast-enhanced CT of the abdomen revealed a significant compression of the third part of the duodenum, reduced the aortomesenteric distance and left renal vein compression between the abdominal aorta and superior mesenteric artery.
