Figures

Figure 1
Low-attenuation within segment 7 of the liver, indicative of infarction.

Figure 2
An axial image of the abdomen, which shows the extremely narrowed coeliac axis (arrow) posterior to the median arcuate ligament. The median arcuate ligament is formed by the fusion of the two crura.

Figure 3
A magnified view of figure 2, showing the right and left crura (arrowheads), behind which lies the compressed coeliac artery (arrow).

Figure 4
A lateral projection showing stenosis of the coeliac axis on its superior aspect (arrow) caused by the median arcuate ligament.
