Median arcuate ligament syndrome

Discussion:

In median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS), compression of the celiac axis compromises blood flow and causes symptoms.

For all we know the patient has not presented to radiology with any complaint of abdominal pain. Therefore, strictly speaking, this compression of the celiac axis would only be described, but it may not be necessarily MALS. 

The imaging findings must, therefore, be correlated with the clinical history.
