ABSTRACT

Dunbar syndrome is an underdiagnosed condition, first reported in 1963 and confirmed through imaging methods until 1972. It presents clinically with epigastric pain, caused by compression of the celiac trunk by the median arcuate ligament, which can be due to a low insertion of the ligament or a high origin of the celiac trunk. This stenosis persists even with changes in the position of the diaphragm during the respiratory cycle. In this article, two imaging methods, namely angiotomography and spectral Doppler ultrasound, were employed. Key data were obtained from each of these modalities, and their integration is crucial for establishing the diagnosis.
