Nutcracker Syndrome

Compression and Superficial Varicosities Outperform Gonadal Vein Diameter in Differentiating Symptomatic from Asymptomatic Pelvic Venous Disorders: A Case-Control Study.

To assess whether gonadal vein (GV) diameter associates with pelvic venous disorder (PeVD)-consistent symptoms in women with pelvic varices, compared with proximal venous outflow obstruction (VOO; iliac/left renal vein stenosis/obstruction) and superficial varicosities. This retrospective, case-cont…

The Need for a Practical Reporting Framework for Pelvic Venous Findings on Imaging.

Variable interpretation of venous findings on imaging can contribute to referrer and patient confusion. Pelvic venous findings, specifically, are commonly encountered in asymptomatic patients. Diagnoses based on such imaging findings alone (e.g., diagnoses of nutcracker syndrome, May-Thurner syndrom…

Comment on "Laparoscopic and robotic extravascular stenting of the left renal vein for anterior nutcracker syndrome in a single-center series".

Spinal venous hypertension secondary to nutcracker syndrome-a previously unreported cause of congestive myelopathy.

We report a case of myelopathy associated with nutcracker syndrome. Clinical and imaging findings indicate that nutcracker syndrome caused left renal vein stenosis, resulting in spinal venous hypertension. A 15-year-old girl presented with abnormal sensations in both lower limbs, followed by progres…

Unusual cause of severe abdominal pain in a young woman: concurrent nutcracker syndrome and median arcuate ligament syndrome.

Venous Intervention in Children: Current Practice and Controversies.

Although anticoagulation remains the cornerstone of treatment for pediatric deep vein thrombosis, there is increased utility of endovascular interventions including catheter-directed thrombolysis, mechanical thrombectomy, and pharmacomechanical thrombectomy in severe cases. Chronic venous occlusion…

Surgical management of superior mesenteric artery syndrome in a 16-year-old female: a case report and literature review.

Superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS) is a rare gastrointestinal disorder caused by the compression of the third part of the duodenum between the superior mesenteric artery and the aorta. It typically presents with nonspecific upper gastrointestinal (GI) obstructive symptoms, making diagnosis c…

Ureteroscopy as a diagnostic tool with potential therapeutic impact in nutcracker syndrome-related hematuria: A case report.

Nutcracker Syndrome (NCS) involves entrapment of the left renal vein (LVR), between the abdominal aorta and superior mesenteric artery. Often presenting with hematuria, flank pain. NCS diagnosis remains challenging due to lack of standardized criterion. A 27-year-old female with chronic painless hem…
