Abstract
The coeliac axis compression syndrome has been recognized for 12 years. More recently an association between this syndrome and the occurrence of aneurysms on the collateral circulation has been described. A review of the coeliac axis compression syndrome is presented and the management of associated aneurysms discussed.
