Abstract
Compression of the celiac artery by a tight arcuate ligament of the diaphragm is a rare syndrome that can arise after correction of severe kyphosis. Symptoms include abdominal pain and ileus and liver dysfunctions. These symptoms can be easily attributed to more common causes like the superior mesenteric artery syndrome, and a delay in the diagnosis of celiac artery obstruction may result in severe ischemic disease of the gastrointestinal tract. We present a case of celiac artery syndrome after correction of a kyphoscoliosis with severe sequelae that has not been documented before.
