Abdominal vascular compression syndromes (AVCS) refer to the entrapment of one or more blood vessels between rigid or semirigid surfaces in a restricted space, a phenomenon that may be depicted by different imaging modalities. Epidemiologically, they affect less than 1 % of the general population [1,2]. Although uncommon, their hemodynamic repercussions may lead to several complications and potential morbidity, and should therefore be recognized by radiologists.
