Introduction. “The nutcracker syndrome” occurs due to abnormal compression of the left renal vein (LRV) between superior mesenteric artery and aorta. Clinical manifestations range from hematuria, proteinuria, pain in lumbar region, sided varicocele men, pudendal varicosity women development severe anemia failure some cases progressive phlebohypertension.Materials methods. The study included 210...

Aim of the study: In this article, we describe a rare case nutcracker syndrome caused by combined compression left anteroaortic and retroaortic renal veins. Case description: A 42-yearold woman presented with microhematuria flank pain. The patient underwent computed tomography Doppler ultrasound which showed veins courses, signs compression. Compression vein was narrowing aortomesenteric space,...

The nutcracker phenomenon is usually caused by compression of the left renal vein by the superior mesenteric artery anteriorly and the aorta posteriorly, although variations of this anatomy have previously been reported. We observed a nutcracker phenomenon in a 42-year-old female who underwent portal venous phase computed tomography of the body for oncologic workup. She had no documented protei...

A 19-year-old female presented with bilateral severe loin pain associated with recurrent macroscopic haematuria. A provisional diagnosis of loin pain haematuria syndrome was made; the severity and frequency of pain led to referral to the pain management service. Alternative diagnoses were considered. Although previous reports of obstruction of the left renal vein have not described pain of this...

Endovascular stent placement for decompression of an entrapped left renal vein (LRV) between the aorta and superior mesenteric artery is an alternative to surgical decompression for treating the nutcracker syndrome. However, an interventional approach may be challenging because of the unfavorable configuration of the LRV, leading to insufficient stent anchoring. We provide a case of a life-thre...
