- Abstract
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder that causes progressive muscular weakness,
severe weight loss, and ultimately death. Gastrostomy or nasogastric tube is beneficial for ALS patients with severe
weight loss and dysphagia. However, the development of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome in ALS patients
when the enteral feeding time is delayed is rarely reported. We report herein the first case of SMA syndrome in a Korean
ALS patient who showed improvement after percutaneous endoscopic gastrojejunostomy(PEGJ). Key Words: Superior mesenteric artery syndrome, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Gastrojejunostomy
