ABSTRACT
Abdominopelvic vascular compression syndromes (VCS) refer to conditions where blood vessels in the abdomen or pelvis are compressed by nearby structures, leading to various symptoms and complications. These conditions include superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS), nutcracker syndrome (NCS), May-Thurner syndrome (MTS), and median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS). Each syndrome is characterized by specific compressions of blood vessels, resulting in symptoms such as pain, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, leg swelling, and other related issues. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), characterized by hyperelasticity, altered collagen, and mobility of the viscera, has been associated with VCS, although the exact prevalence is unknown. We report a case of a patient with EDS who presented with multiple VCS, including NCS, MTS, SMAS, and MALS.
