RCOM - Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome
Dean J. Shanley, DO; Jeffery Y, Sue, MD
A 76-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of
protracted vomiting, a 20-pound weight loss, fever and
leukocytosis. Three weeks prior to this admission, a CT scan of the
abdomen revealed an abscess in the left lobe of the liver, which
was drained surgically.
