Résumé
Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome (MALS) is a rare entity characterized by severe post-prandial epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, and/or weight loss. Symptoms have been attributed to vascular compression (celiac artery compression syndrome, CACS), but it remains controversial whether they could be secondary to neural compression. Literature review identified rare description of pathologic findings in surgery journals. The clinico-pathologic findings of four MALS patients who underwent robotic or laparoscopic surgery in our hospital are described. All our patients were female with a median age of 32.5 (range 25-55 years), and a median BMI of 23.5 kg/m
