It emphasizes the need to raise awareness about this condition and provides a foundation for better understanding. The definition of MALS is explained in detail, describing it as a rare vascular condition resulting from the compression of the celiac artery by the median arcuate ligament. The book explores the causes, risk factors, and symptoms associated with MALS, including abdominal pain, weight loss, and nausea.
