We present a case of arcuate ligament syndrome diagnosed in a 23-year-old patient with epigastric pain, vomiting and weight loss, using Doppler ultrasound and CT-angiography, treated by surgical resection of the ligament with complete resolution of symptoms. In addition, incidentally the patient was diagnosed with a nutcracker syndrome, without clinical repercussions.
