RESUMEN
Introducción: la displasia fibromuscular (DFM) es una patología poco frecuente de la capa muscular de las arterias. El síndrome de ligamento arcuato medio (SLAM) es una entidad infrecuente causada por la compresión extrínseca del tronco celíaco por el diafragma. Caso clínico: presentamos el caso de una mujer joven con DFM diagnosticada de afectación a nivel del tronco celíaco y de la arteria hepática común. Ante clínica de dolor abdominal, se solicita angio TC, que describe un SLAM asociado a la DFM. Se decide sección quirúrgica del ligamento arcuato y descompresión del tronco celíaco mediante abordaje robótico. Discusión: en ambas entidades la angiografía es el trataminto de referencia para el diagnóstico. El tratamiento de primera línea de la DFM es el endovascular mediante angioplastia, y del SLAM, el quirúrgico, seccionando el ligamento arcuato.(AU)
Introduction: fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a rare disorder that affects the muscular layer of the arteries. The medianarcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) is also a rare disorder due to the extrinsic compression of the celiac trunk by thediaphragm.Case report: we report the case of a young woman with FMD and splachnic involvement of the celiac trunk and thecommon hepatic artery level. After presenting with abdominal pain, a CCTA was performed that revealed the presenceof FMD-related MALS. The surgical section of the arcuate ligament and decompression of celiac trunk were decided andperformed through robotic approach.Discussion: the gold standard for the diagnosis of both entities is angiography. However, while the first-line therapy ofFMD is endovascular, in the case MALS the best alternative is surgical treatment sectioning the arcuate ligament.(AU)

We present the case of an 83-year-old male, with a past medical history of benign pneumoperitoneum secondary to pneumatosis intestinalis which evolved for a number of years with periodic follow-ups. The patient comes to the Emergency Room with sintomatology of intestinal obstruction. Urgent surgical management is decided, an exploratory laparotomy is performed where an intestinal obstruction secondary to pneumatosis intestinalis, with loss of structure of the intestinal wall as visualized in the images, is determined; therefore resection of the affected small intestine segment and primary anastomosis are performed. The pathology report confirms the diagnosis. The patient progresses favorably during the postoperative period and is currently asymptomatic after 12 months.
