In medicine the median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS also known as celiac artery compression syndrome celiac axis syndrome celiac trunk compression syndrome or Dunbar syndrome) is a condition characterized by abdominal pain attributed to compression of the celiac artery and possibly the celiac ganglia by the median arcuate ligament. The abdominal pain may be related to meals may be accompanied by weight loss and may be associated with an abdominal bruit heard by a clinician.
