Abstract

The article presents a clinical case of a 17-year-old boy with diagnosed abdominal aortic trunk compression syndrome (Dunbar syndrome), clinically manifested by complaints of prolonged pain in the epigastrium and suprapubic region, periodic dilution of stool, frequent urge to defecate. Ultrasound of mesenteric vessels and CT of abdominal organs with double contrast allowed to establish pathological changes, which revealed echoscopic signs of stenosis of the proximal segment of the abdominal artery, stenosis of the ventral trunk mouth up to 60-70% thickened right leg of the diaphragm. The complexity of this clinical case lies in the fact that this pathology is a rare diagnosis of exclusion, the formulation of which required a wide range of differential diagnosis.
