Chronic Pelvic Pain and Hematuria Associated with Posterior Nutcracker Syndrome
Downloads
The nutcracker syndrome is a rare syndrome in which the left renal vein is compressed between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery or even more rarely between the aorta and vertebral body, in case of an anatomical variation of the left renal vein.
It is more likely discovered within young patients presenting pelvic pain, hematuria, or varicocele. Treatments vary from conservative, to surgical or endovascular.
Here we present the case of a young patient with chronic pelvic pain and hematuria, diagnosed as a posterior nutcracker syndrome.
