Median arcuate ligament syndrome

Blood Vessels & Circulation

Abdomen & Pelvis

Median arcuate ligament syndrome happens when a fibrous band across the diaphragm presses on the coeliac artery, reducing blood flow to abdominal organs. It can cause ongoing abdominal pain after eating. An MRI may show compression of the coeliac artery consistent with this condition. Finding median arcuate ligament syndrome early may provide an explanation for symptoms and allow for surgical treatment.

SCReening explained

It’s important to understand that OneMRI's full-body scan is a general proactive health scan developed to include areas where preventative screening delivers the most meaningful insight in a way that is safe and non-invasive. The scan should be used to compliment other routine scans and screening. It should not replace standard screening protocols or targeted procedures as recommended by your doctor, specialist or health provider. Examples of these include mammogram, prostate examination, cervical screening, colonoscopy, and lung cancer screening.
