Several authors believe the crus of the diaphragm or the arcuate ligament is largely implicated in the etiology of the celiac artery compression syndrome (CACS). An unusual case of CACS successfully treated with laparoscopic decompression is reported. While under general anesthesia, the patient underwent laparoscopic division of the hypertrophic median arcuate ligament and dissection free of the celiac trunk. Postoperative angiography demonstrated improved flow in the celiac artery. The patient was discharged on the second postoperative day. At 6 months, Doppler ultrasound scanning and magnetic resonance angiography revealed good patency of the celiac trunk. The patient reported complete resolution of symptoms and increased weight. A laparoscopic approach allows the surgeon to sufficiently dissect the celiac axis. An excellent clinical result at short-term follow-up was attained. This is the second reported experience with this new procedure and the first successfully performed with only four port sites.
