Thanks for these vidoes. My 14 year old was just diagnosed with MALS, and we are waiting to see her pediatrician to get a pediatric vascular surgeon referral. My baby is hurting, trouble eating, and has lost a good 20 pounds in last 2 months. ER doctor's got the CT scan results and had no idea what MALS was and had to make calls to find out and how to explain to us what was wrong. Hoping for help soon. These videos help explain to me what's going on. Just wish we could get her help very very soon.

I look forward to meeting you in a couple weeks for a MALS consultation after 8 months of extensive GI workup and nausea/pain with eating.

VtOS aTos nutcracker syndrome and malS sufferer here. Looking at surgery for VTOS but mals surgery has horror stories. I am underweight and struggle to gain and ny vascualr compressions have caused worsening autonomic dysfunction hence wasting away further as cant exercise, gain weight or strengthen body and posture. Would a feeding tube to gain weight help cure MaLS and nCs.

@dannyshouhedmd401 4 ай бұрын

I’m sorry for what you are going through. Weight gain does not cure MALS..only surgery. If surgery is done by someone with experience, you will be ok.

Can MALS symptoms come and go (zero pain one day, severe pain the next)? Can symptoms get worse during the menstrual cycle? Does pain usually have a sudden onset? What does MALS pain typically feel like (quality of pain)? Thanks for the information!

@dannyshouhedmd401 11 ай бұрын

Typically not. This sounds like something gynecological..perhaps endometriosis.

What about postpradial panic attacks? I have a family member with CT/US confirmation of SEVERE celiac artery compression. They have SOME pain with eating. But typically, they experience a panic attack instead. It is NOT from fear of eating (though that exists) they will eat, and 20 minutes later experience dyspnia and a panic attack. They describe it as someone "reaching into there chest and shaking their spine". Is this a possibility with MALS? Could this be an atypical presentation? Have you seen this symptom with any MALS patient you have treated? They are scheduled for MALS decompression in a month- but we are screptical this is the correct diagnosis due to what ive described above.

I would like to add they have had gastroporesis & SIBO ruled out. Negative EGD. Has lost 50 pounds. Negative for parasites or other GI issues. 1 month Prior to their symptoms had food poisoning followed by COVID. Multiple MDs have shrugged thier shoulders and said its "probably MALS" but are always unsure. I know the likelihood of getting any response from your KZfaq comments section is low- but im throwing lines out everywhere i can think to do so because the past 2 months have been a nightmare. Help a brother out?

Yes dyspnea is a common symptom associated with MALS.

@herbertcrawford9634 Жыл бұрын

@dannyshouhedmd401 What about activation of the fight or flight response via the celiac artery compression? My understanding is there is a strong relationship between CN X & the plexis. Im specifically wondering if the compression could irritate the celiac/vagus area enough to actually initiate fight or flight panic episodes. Have you seen that in your MALS patients? Do you think that would that even be possible? The anxiety does not seem to be related to the other MALS symptoms as the panic attacks actually started BEFORE any other symptoms.
