PATHOGENETIC SIGNIFICANCE OF DYSKINESIA OF THE SPHINCTER OF OKSNER IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SYNDROME OF THE SUPERIOR MESENTERIC ARTERY.

These data indicate that in most cases of SMAS the sphincter Ochsner dyskinesia causes the disease. It is likely that the disease is triggered by heavy stressful conditions that cause a sharp and sustained reduction in the pH of gastric secretions, which in turn leads to the spasms of the sphincter Ochsner. With time this condition progresses to hypertrophy of the contracted wall of the duodenum with subsequent replacement of the muscle fibers by connective tissue. This can lead to the rigidity of the wall.
