Nutcracker syndrome is a rare condition that refers to compression of left renal vein (LRV) between abdominal aorta and superior mesenteric artery. The most common location of compression is between the superior mesenteric artery (SMA; Pic. 1) and abdominal aorta. The name derives from the fact that, in the sagittal plane and/or transverse plane, the SMA and aorta (with some imagination) appear...

Nutcracker phenomenon is the descriptor for a patient’s anatomy whenever the left renal vein becomes compressed between the abdominal aorta and the superior mesenteric artery. Nutcracker syndrome is the terminology used when the nutcracker phenomenon is accompanied by symptoms including pain (abdominal, flank, pelvic), hematuria, and orthostatic proteinuria. Diagnosis can be made with Doppler u...

Aim: Although nonspecific esophageal motility disorder(NEMD) is the most common diagnosis in manometry, unlike other primary disorders, it least known and studied disorder literature. Studies with a small number of patient groups have been reported The aim this study to share demographic clinical characteristics single center high-volume NEMD patients we followed up. 
 Material Method: was...

BACKGROUND Significant incidence, diagnostic difficulties, clinical relevance and therapeutic efficacy associated with the small number of publications on the primary esophageal motor disorders, motivated the present study. AIM To determine the manometric prevalence of these disorders and correlate them to the endoscopic and clinical findings. METHODS A retrospective study of 2614 patients,...

We report a case of nutcracker syndrome that developed after delivery. A 32-year-old woman visited our clinic complaining of gross hematuria 4 months after delivery. Urethrocystoscopic examination failed to show hematuria coming from the ureteral orifice; however, enhanced computed tomography revealed the compression of the left renal vein between the aorta and superior mesenteric artery. There...

Introduction Nutcracker syndrome is a rare disease entity that is caused by entrapment of the left renal vein between the aorta and superior mesenteric artery, usually due to abnormal branching of the superior mesenteric artery from the aorta causing renal venous hypertension. The symptoms vary from asymptomatic hematuria to severe pelvic congestion. Celiacomes-enteric trunk anomaly is a rare v...
