Where does right gastric artery come from?
The right gastric artery arises from the proper hepatic artery. The left gastroepiploic artery is a branch of the splenic artery. The gastroduodenal artery gives off the right gastroepiploic artery. All of this makes up the vascular circle of the stomach.
What causes celiac artery blockage?
Celiac trunk stenosis is a relatively common finding; the most common causes of this obstruction are median arcuate ligament syndrome, pancreatitis, local invasion of various malignancies originating from the pancreatic body, atherosclerosis or it can be idiopathic.
What is Coeliac axis?
The coeliac artery, also known as the coeliac axis or coeliac trunk, is a major splanchnic artery in the abdominal cavity supplying the foregut. It arises from the abdominal aorta and commonly gives rise to three branches: left gastric artery, splenic artery, and common hepatic artery.

Are you born with MALS?
This structural anomaly can be congenital, meaning from birth or develop after spinal or abdominal surgery or due to abdominal trauma. While some degree of compression can be seen in the general population without symptoms, these people should be followed closely as people can become symptomatic at any age.
Can MALS go away?
MALS is a chronic condition, so it won’t go away on its own. MALS is treated by cutting the median arcuate ligament so that it can’t compress the celiac artery and surrounding nerves anymore.
What is Dunbar syndrome?
Dunbar Syndrome, also known as median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS), is a rare condition with a reported incidence of 2 per 100,000. It is characterized by an extrinsic compression of the celiac trunk, and should be considered when evaluating patients with abdominal pain of unknown etiology.
