Abstract

Nutcracker syndrome caused by compression of the left renal vein between the abdominal aorta and the superior mesenteric artery is a rare anatomo-pathological condition. The patients have symptoms such as hematuria, proteinuria, and left flank pain. In this paper, we report a 13-year-old boy who presented with macroscopic haematuria. Routine laboratory tests for the evaluation of hematuria were normal. Abdominal computed tomography revealed that the left renal vein was compressed between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery. A diagnosis of nutcracker syndrome was established. If Nutcracker syndrome is considered in the differential diagnosis of haematuria, it is easily diagnosed by imaging techniques.

Özet

Sol renal venin aort ve üst mezenterik arter arasında sıkışmasından kaynaklanan Nutcracker sendromu nadir rastlanan bir anatomik-patolojik durumdur. Hastalar hematüri, proteinüri, sol yan ağrısı gibi bulgular gösterir. Bu yazıda, makroskopik hematüri ile başvuran 13 yaşındaki bir hastayı sunduk. Hematüriyi araştırmak için yapılan laboratuvar testleri normal bulundu. Batın tomografisinde sol renal venin aort ve superior mezenterik arter arasında sıkışmış olduğu görülerek Nutcracker sendromu tanısı kondu. Sonuç olarak hematürinin ayırıcı tanısında Nutcracker sendromu akla getirilir ise radyolojik bulgular ile kolaylıkla tanıya ulaşılabilmektedir.
