Background And Aims: Image Defined Risk Factors (IDRFs) assess surgical risk in neuroblastoma (NB) and guide neoadjuvant therapy. Despite chemotherapy IDRFs may persist in 70 % of cases. Several studies have suggested that not all IDRFs hold equal significance and that the presence of an IDRF does not inherently signify unresectability.

Background: Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) occurs due to extrinsic compression of the coeliac plexus, leading to postprandial and exercise-induced epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, food fear and weight loss. Diagnosis can be challenging as up to 25% of the population have radiological compression. However, only 1% of the population have corresponding symptoms.

Dieulafoy lesions are a rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding, characterized by an enlarged submucosal blood vessel that bleeds without visible abnormalities. The diagnosis is typically made via endoscopy, and treatment usually involves endoscopic therapy. This case involves a 46-year-old female who presented with upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to a Dieulafoy's lesion, treated with band ligation and later embolization after the lesion was found to originate from the left phrenic artery.

Inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm (IPDA) with the stenosis of the celiac axis is rare and may cause rupture. A unique etiology of IPDAs with celiac stenosis is median arcuate ligament syndrome. These aneurysms develop as a result of the dilation of the arteries from the retrograde blood flow into the pancreaticoduodenal arches because of celiac artery compression by the median arcuate ligament.

Article Synopsis
  • * Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) is an uncommon cause of this stenosis, and surgical release of the ligament beforehand has a high success rate in resolving related ischemic problems.
  • * A 49-year-old male with pancreatic adenocarcinoma benefited from robotic-assisted ligament release before his surgery, which helped prevent complications and ensured proper blood flow during the procedure.
