The condition occurs when the superior mesenteric artery, which supplies blood to the small intestine, becomes compressed between the aorta and the vertebrae, causing partial or complete obstruction.

It is important for patients with Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome to seek medical attention promptly to avoid serious complications.
