I have recently been diagnoced with SMA Syndrome. I have been told that this is rare, I have been reserching this and have found reasons to believe that it maybe caused by adhesions. SMA Syndrome is called many diffrent medical terms, but it is a collapsing of the duodenum between the Mesenteric Artery and the Aorta. I am trying to find ananswer to why this has happened to me. I have also lost about 50lbs in 10 months, but I have a hard time thinking that is the only cause. My doctors have me on TPN through a PICC line. I am on liquids only. I was wanting to see if this could be caused by adhesions, Is anyone out there that has SMA Syndrome?
