Abstract
Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) has been reported in 2–7.6 % of patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Most of the reported cases of MALS have been diagnosed perioperatively and treated radiologically or surgically before or during PD. MALS can have an acute postoperative onset after PD even if all preoperative and intraoperative evaluations are normal particularly in young patients.In this report, we present a second case of severe hepatic cytolysis secondary to MALS that developed acutely and the first patient who required acute division of the median arcuate ligament after PD.
