Condition: Superior Mesenteric Stenosis or Occlusion

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.
