Mals
MALS, or Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome, is a rare condition caused by the compression of the celiac artery by the median arcuate ligament. Symptoms often include chronic abdominal pain, weight loss, and sometimes gastrointestinal issues. Diagnostic methods for MALS primarily involve imaging studies like ultrasound or CT angiography. Treatment usually requires surgical intervention.
