Wilkie's Syndrome

Wilkie's syndrome, also commonly known as superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome, is an infrequent and rare cause of small bowel obstruction. It is caused by extrinsic compression of the duodenal segment of the intestine between the aorta and SMA, causing significant post-prandial abdominal pain and vomiting.
