Against the Flow.

Janice, a previously healthy 27-year-old, experienced severe weight loss and eating difficulties, leading her to seek medical help. Despite extensive tests, including bloodwork and CT scans, no specific cause for her symptoms could be found. However, a special CT scan with an angiogram revealed that Janice had a narrowed celiac artery, which explained her symptoms. She was diagnosed with Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome (MALS) and underwent surgery to alleviate the constriction. After the surgery, Janice experienced immediate relief from her symptoms and regained her health and weight. The cause of her MALS remains unknown, but the surgery provided a successful solution.
