Also called: SMAS; Wilkie Syndrome; Chronic Duodenal Ileus
Superior Mesenteric Stenosis (SMAS) is a very rare condition of the digestive system that causes a blockage of the small intestine, specifically the duodenum.
The superior mesenteric artery is normally separated from the duodenum by a fatty cushion. SMAS occurs when that cushion becomes smaller due to a few common factors, including recovery from scoliosis or spinal surgery.
UAMS Health providers perform and prescribe a broad range of treatments and procedures, some of which may not be listed below.
Note that the treatment of Superior Mesenteric Stenosis or Occlusion may not be performed at every location listed below. The list may include locations where the treatment plan is developed during and after a patient visit.
