Median Arcurate Ligament Syndrome

[SarahSw00sh]

I am a 20 year old women who weighs 120 pounds.

I recently had an Ultrasound of my abdomen and it suggested possible celiac artery compression.

"There is an abnormal increased velocity involving the celiac artery origin in the supine position with a peak systolic velocity of 294 cm/s, at inspiration 326 cm/s, expiration 406 cm/s. The knee semi-upright position during expiration the velocity is 276 cm/s, upright expiration 147 cm/s."

However, when my doctor followed this test up with an MRA it came back normal. I am confused how this could be. I have been suffering from upper left abdomen pain and constipation for nearly two years and have had roughly 15 other tests done over the past two years. I have also been on several different medications. If anyone who knows something about MALS could educate me on how it is possible for the MRA to not show any signs of MALS that would be great.

Do a search on MedHelp for splenic flexure syndrome.  It may be related to your problem, and one post shows of a way to search for physical therapy help in your area from an IAHP site.  But first read about splenic flexure syndrome, which you can also google.
