Abstract
Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) is a rare condition in which the median arcuate ligament causes dynamic compression of the celiac artery and surrounding structures. This has been seen to cause various abdominal complaints, predominantly pain. Surgical release of the median arcuate ligament (MAL) has been used to treat MALS; however, no standardized protocol to determine surgical candidacy exists. This study aims to explore sequences of diagnostic imaging and provocative testing and correlate them with postoperative outcomes following MAL release.
