A Rare Renal Anomaly: Nutracker Syndrome

Nutcracker syndrome is a rare condition that manifests itself with abdominal pain and hematuria, usually resulting in compression of left renal vein between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery. It is mostly seen in young women and the treatment should be individualized on a patient basis. A 17-year-old female patient was admitted to our clinic for 2 months of ongoing side pain, followed up with the diagnosis of Nutracker’s syndrome after doppler ultrasonography and treated symptomatically.
