Median arch ligament syndrome? Technicians do CT all year round. He is the backbone of prefecture and municipal hospitals, but he has never heard of the name of this disease.

    "Not mesenteric ischemia?"

    "The onset of mesenteric ischemia is generally urgent, and I thought it was this disease at the beginning." Wu Mian stroked the rabbit''s ears on his head and said with a smile, "now it doesn''t look like it."

    "What''s your name again?"

    "Median arch ligament syndrome." Wu Mian clicked on the print, said to the technician and went back with the film.

    Technicians talk about the name of median arch ligament syndrome. How do you think it is a disease of orthopedic system? In theory, it should have nothing to do with abdominal pain.

    Because Wu Mian is famous, there has been a lot of communication between doctors supported by the shelter hospital these days, so CT technicians still write down the name of the disease and the strange symptoms of the patient, and prepare to ask the director of Gastroenterology of their own hospital after work.

    He specially uploaded the imaging data and sent an email to his mailbox.

    After work, the CT technician couldn''t wait to go back to his residence.

    Life seems to have a little hope and some freshness, even if it is just a strange disease name.

    "Director Xia, let me ask you a question." the technician called and said directly.

    "Xiao Liu, how are you on the other side of Tianhe?"

    "It''s OK. There are a lot fewer patients recently. It''s much easier than when I came here. By the way, I work with Mr. Wu in the shelter hospital."

    "Miss Wu? Who is it?" director Xia was not worried. She was more worried to know the situation on the other side of Tianhe.

    "Wu Mian, Miss Wu."

    The name sounded familiar. Director Xia was stunned and tried to think where he had heard the name.

    Technician Liu knew that the old director rarely contacted the latest diagnostics, so he said directly, "he is the deputy editor in chief of the latest edition of diagnostics."

    "Er... It''s him?! why is he in the shelter hospital? Shouldn''t he go to the designated hospital?" director Xia said in surprise.

    "I don''t know the specific situation." technician Liu said, "director Xia, a patient has nausea and vomiting after eating today. He has lost more than 10 kilograms a year. What disease are you considering?"

    "Tumor." director Xia said without hesitation.

    "Hey, I think so. Mr. Wu took the patient to do abdominal enhanced vascular CT."

    "......." director Xia was stunned for a moment. She asked suspiciously, "is it the mesenteric artery?"

    "No, Mr. Wu said it was median arch ligament syndrome."

    The voice on the other side of the phone was silent. After a long time, director Xia said, "is there a film?"

    "Yes, I''ll pass it on to you, director Xia." technician Liu smiled. "What kind of disease is this? I''ve never heard of it before."

    "It''s a rare disease. My teacher who studied in mordu said that he was collecting relevant cases for research. Send me the film and I''ll have a look."

    "That''s it. Don''t worry. By the way, director Xia, I feel like an orthopedic problem."

    "Don''t talk nonsense. When you hear the ligament, you think of orthopedics? The appendix ligament is also a ligament, which has a wool relationship with orthopedics."

    "Director Xia, you''re right." technician Liu didn''t think so and said with a smile, "tell me about it. I''m curious."

    "The median arch ligament is a fibrous ligament connecting the diaphragmatic feet on both sides of the aortic hiatus, forming the front edge of the aortic hiatus. It is different from the ligaments of the knee and Achilles tendon. Don''t get it wrong."

    "Can there be anything wrong with the ligaments in the stomach?"

    "The high position of the celiac trunk on the abdominal aorta or the low attachment point of the diaphragm foot can make the celiac trunk compressed, leading to mesenteric ischemia, resulting in a series of symptoms such as abdominal pain and weight loss." director Xia said, "I haven''t met a similar patient, but from the past, there are a few patients who can get together, but that was many years ago."

    "Can this disease be cured?" technician Liu asked.

    "I don''t know," director Xia said honestly. "I don''t know whether the disease is light or heavy. Send the film and I''ll let the teacher of mordu see it."

    Technician Liu sent the film and waited for a long time. There was no news from director Xia.

    He also knew that director Xia would not discuss the patient''s condition with himself, but technician Liu was a little curious. He felt nausea and abdominal pain after eating. He seemed to have encountered similar situations, but most of them were diagnosed as acute gastroenteritis or chronic gastroenteritis.

    If... How many patients have you misdiagnosed in your life!

    At the thought of misdiagnosis, technician Liu''s hair stood up.

    I''m not good at learning, but a rare disease, or a rare disease whose name is rarely heard, can''t require all doctors to know.

    It''s interesting. Technician Liu''s eyes are full of the big yellow rabbit ears. This teacher Wu looks strange. There is no doctor so careless.

    But on second thought, he lost his smile.

    When the square dance was just started in the shelter hospital, many people said they were not serious, saying that this was the only place in the country where people could dance legally.

    But it has been proved that wave after wave of discharged patients, those negative remarks have become jokes.

    The cute rabbit ears were like a joke, but the technician smiled at the thought of teacher Wu''s name.

    Perhaps Mr. Wu has his own ideas, and technician Liu is sure that a doctor who can casually say the diagnosis of the rare disease of median arch ligament syndrome after watching the film will never be unreliable.

    Since director Xia doesn''t communicate, check it yourself.

    Technician Liu began to look through the database and finally found some relevant content.

    Sure enough, it is an uncommon disease. There are hundreds of messages in other searches, while there are only a few for median arch ligament syndrome.

    Median arch ligament syndrome, also known as abdominal trunk compression syndrome, is a rare cause of postprandial abdominal pain and weight loss.

    The multiple population is usually middle-aged women aged 40 to 60.

    Patients are often misdiagnosed as functional dyspepsia.

    Seeing this information, technician Liu immediately recalled the relevant information of the patient in the shelter hospital.

    Indeed, everything is consistent, and the film is similar to what is said in the literature.

    Nothing happened. Technician Liu lay on the bed and began to study the rare median arch ligament syndrome. The more you look at it, the more technician Liu feels that something is wrong. Regardless of the image data, the patient''s main complaint and symptoms, he has encountered many similar patients.

    After eating, they feel sick and thin. There are many patients who agree with these two points alone.

    Although not all patients can diagnose median arch ligament syndrome, there is one more possibility after all.

    I didn''t expect such a harvest when I came to the shelter hospital for support.

    He lay on his bed and studied all kinds of literature carefully, more seriously than when he was promoted to study.
