In our own patients (Sandmann/Scholbach) from 2005 to 12/3/2020, we observed the occurrence of combined vascular compression syndromes very frequently. Among them an unexpectedly high proportion of those with clinical evidence of connective tissue disease was found. A list of characteristic symptoms of genetic connective tissue diseases can be found here: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Marfan syndrome.

MALS — Median arcuate ligament syndrome/Plexus coeliacus — Kompressionssyndrom/Dunbar Syndrom
