Duodenal obstruction occurred in a 7-year-old girl who suffered from encephalitis. She was of asthenic build, had recently lost much weight and had been lying supine for several days. A diagnosis of superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS) was entertained and subsequently confirmed by roentgenologic studies and by the clinical course. Unnecessary surgery was thus avoided. Because of its varied expression and the alleged infrequent occurrence in children, there is special need for awareness and recognition of SMAS in the pediatric patient.
