Abstract

Compression from median arcuate ligament was observed during multidetector 64-row computed tomography in a Caucasian 30-year-old female. The patient was referred for examination to exclude anatomical pathologies causing hypertension. The examination demonstrated that left renal artery, which had its origin in the chest (at the level of upper one-third of Th12), was compressed as it passed by median arcuate ligament of the diaphragm. In addition, aortic compression and kinked shape was also revealed.
