Arteriomesenteric occlusion of the distal duodenum may occur in clinical conditions which result in narrowing of the angle between the aorta and superior mesenteric artery. Two patients with arteriomesenteric duodenal occlusion associated with Strongyloides stercoralis infection are described. In one patient the mechanism of occlusion appeared to be significant weight loss and associated visceroptosis, while in the other patient increased diameter of superior mesenteric vessels was the major factor. Strongyloidiasis, a curable parasitic infection, should be considered in patients presenting with arteriomesenteric occlusion of the distal duodenum.
