What is the full form of SMA syndrome?

Published in Medical Abbreviations 1 min read

The full form of SMA syndrome is Superior Mesenteric Artery syndrome.

SMA syndrome is a rare digestive condition characterized by the compression of the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine) between the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and the aorta. This compression leads to partial or complete blockage of the duodenum, preventing food from passing through the digestive system properly.
