Emaciation is a symptom encountered frequently in clinical diagnosis and treatment of endocrine and metabolic diseases,and superior mesenteric artery syndrome(SMAS)is one of the major causes.But SMAS is often overlooked by endocrinologists.SMAS can be caused by extreme weight loss,which can further aggravate weight loss at the same time,and the two form a vicious circle that leads to difficult-to-correct emaciation.The treatment includes gastrointestinal decompression,enteral or parenteral nutrition,etc.Some critically ill patients require surgical relief of the obstruction to achieve therapeutic effect.
