*''Hallmark of condition'': Disabling midepigastric or central [[abdominal pain]] within 10-15 minutes after eating.
*''Physical examination'': The abdomen typically is scaphoid and soft, even during an episode of [[pain]]. Patients present with stigmata of [[weight loss]] and signs of [[peripheral vascular disease]], particularly aorto-iliac occlusive disease, may be present.
*''Causes'': Smoking is an associated risk factor. In most series, approximately 75-80% of patients smoke.
