Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome refers to the constellation of symptoms that are associated with intermittent obstruction of the duodenum due to vascular compression. We present a case of SMA-like syndrome related to variant mesenteric venous drainage in the setting of normal aortomesenteric angle (AMA) and borderline reduced aortomesenteric distance (AMD).
