AB  - Superior  mesenteric  artery  (SMA)  syndrome  results  from  vascular  compression  of  the  third  portion  of  the  duodenum  between  the  SMA  anteriorly  and  the  abdominal  aorta  posteriorly  (Fig.  401-1).  This  syndrome  has  also  been  termed  Wilkie  syndrome,  arteriomesenteric  duodenal  compression,  chronic  duodenal  ileus,  or  cast  syndrome.  This  syndrome  is  relatively  rare,  especially  in  the  pediatric  population,  and  can  be  difficult  to  diagnose.  It  is  confused  commonly  with  other  anatomic  or  motility-related  causes  of  duodenal  obstruction.
