Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome is a rare but potentially life-threatening entity of proximal intestinal obstruction, and characterized by extrinsic compression loss of fatty tissue of the aortomesenteric aperture as a result of a variety of debilitating conditions. Various gastrointestinal presentations of SMA syndrome have been documented. We herein describe a rare complication of SMA syndrome, in form of intrahepatic cholestasis. SMA syndrome seemingly appears under-diagnosed and the condition is more common in debilitating patients. A high awareness for timely recognition of SMA syndrome is important for proper management. Keywords: Hepatobiliary scan; Intrahepatic cholestasis; Superior mesenteric artery syndrome; Upper gastrointestinal obstruction
