Superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS) is a rare syndrome that is generally seen in adolescents and young adults. In this case, a 22-year-old female patient applied to the outpatient clinic with complaints of persistent nausea and vomiting. After evaluation of the physical and laboratory findings of the patient, contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography was requested. The findings were considered as SMAS and the patient was referred to the gastroenterology clinic.
