REQUENA-LOPEZ, Abner A.; MATA-SAMPERIO, Brenda K.; CUADRA-REYES, Luis A. y CASILLAS-VARGAS, Ricardo. Wilkie’s syndrome as a cause of bowel obstruction in adults: A case report. Cir. cir. [online]. 2020, vol.88, n.2, pp.185-188. Epub 15-Nov-2021. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.19001195.
Background:
The superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome, also known as Wilkie’s syndrome, is one of the rarest causes of small bowel obstruction.
Clinical case:
A 36-year-old female patient, with a medical history of diabetes mellitus type 2, arrived at the emergency department with upper intestinal obstruction; a study protocol is made, integrating the diagnosis of Wilkie’s syndrome. We performed a laparoscopic duodenojejunostomy, the patient did well in the post-operative period.
Conclusions:
Laparoscopic duodenojejunostomy is a practical option to treat Wilkie’s syndrome. It provides definitive treatment with the advantages and benefits of minimally invasive surgery.
