Context: Restorative proctocolectomy with anastomosis of an ileal pouch to the anal canal is a new and rare cause for triggering the syndrome of duodenal compression by the superior mesenteric artery. Restorative proctocolectomy requires assessment of the position of the duodenum in relation to aortomesenteric constriction to avoid the occurrence of duodenal compression by the superior mesenteric artery.
Case Report: The authors report on a case of this syndrome in a patient with familial adenomatous polyposis and review the literature on the etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of this unusual entity.

Introduction And Importance: Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome is a rare morbid vascular disorder that is defined as the decrease in the aortomesenteric angle and the compression of the third part of the duodenum. This disorder mainly affects young adult females, and severe weight loss represents a leading predisposing factor.
Case Presentation: The authors report the case of a 19-year-old male who was admitted to our hospital with a 3-month history of epigastric pain, nausea, and weight loss.

Introduction And Importance: One of the very rare causes of obstructive jaundice, Lemmel's syndrome, is caused due to biliary mechanical compression by a juxtapapillary diverticulum. It is defined as obstructive jaundice due to juxtapapillary diverticulum in the absence of cholelithiasis, periampullary tumours, or other detectable obstacles. It is an extremely rare syndrome; therefore, studies need to be done for proper diagnosis and management.

An acute vascular angle between the superior mesenteric artery and the Aorta may compress the third part of the duodenum (SMA Syndrome) and the Left Renal Vein (Renal Nutcracker Syndrome). Usually, patients are young females with a lean stature. Symptoms of outlet obstruction and pelvic congestion syndrome may be present.

- - Median arcuate ligament syndrome results in the celiac artery being compressed, leading to reduced blood flow and potential aneurysm formation in the pancreatic area; it was observed in six cases during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- - Patients experienced abdominal pain 3 to 9 days after COVID-19 onset, although none required oxygen, and diagnoses were confirmed using contrast-enhanced CT scans showing hemorrhage and aneurysms.
- - While rare, retroperitoneal hemorrhage related to this syndrome may be exacerbated by COVID-19, causing complications like duodenal stenosis and portal vein thrombosis in some patients.
