What is Dunbar Syndrome?
Symptoms and cause
The
Dunbar syndrome
, also median arcuate ligament syndrome refers to a chronic
intestinal blood circulation disorder
.
Those affected usually suffer from symptoms such as
cramps and pain in the upper abdomen
,
vomiting
or
nausea
immediately after eating
.
As a result of the unpleasant symptoms, those affected can inadvertently lose weight, and if they persist for a long time they can also lead to anorexia.
In addition, vessels and nerves can be permanently damaged.
The syndrome arises from the entrapment of the celiac trunk: this is the common starting section of three arteries from the
abdominal aorta
.
These arteries are important for supplying the abdominal organs with oxygen.
The
solar plexus
, a network of nerve fibers that is nearby, can also be narrowed in some cases.
The abdominal organs are then supplied with too little oxygen.
