The anterior nutcracker syndrome is defined by the compression of the left renal vein between the aorta and superior mesenteric artery, usually related to the occurrence of hematuria. We report the case of an uncommon complication of the nutcracker syndrome. A 75-year-old woman was referred to our institution for left flank pain without hematuria. Multiphasic computer tomography urography showed a condition of left renal vein entrapment between the aorta and superior mesenteric artery with the development of left gonadal vein varicosities at the level of the renal hilum; a pyeloureteral junction compression with dilation of the pyelocalyceal system coexisted. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the association between nutcracker syndrome and pyeloureteral junction obstruction.

There are few data on endovascular treatment of anterior nutcracker syndrome and pelvic varices in patients with anterior and posterior renal veins. Our objective is to report a case, identify occurrences and compare diagnosis and treatments. A 42-year-old woman presented with flank and pelvic pain and hematuria. She had anterior nutcracker syndrome and pelvic varices with an anterior and a posterior renal vein. A successful complete endovascular approach was done with stent implantation in the anterior renal vein and left gonadal vein embolisation. After 12-month follow-up, the patient remained asymptomatic with good results on CT. Only two case reports of patients with nutcracker syndrome with anterior and posterior renal veins were identified. In both, a self-expanding stent was implanted in the anterior renal vein. In conclusion, endovascular treatment represents a safe and successful option in patients with nutcracker syndrome and pelvic varices with an anterior and a posterior renal vein.

The nutcracker phenomenon refers to compression of the left renal vein at the origin of the superior mesenteric artery and is often underdiagnosed. This can cause symptoms of pelvic venous congestion with retrograde venous flow and a dilated gonadal vein. Here we describe a case in a 39-year-old female, who following imaging investigations to confirm the diagnosis, underwent transperitoneal laparoscopic ligation of the left gonadal vein. Laparoscopic sterilization was also performed with the aid of the gynecologists. Multiparous women, who are more likely to develop pelvic congestion symptoms, more commonly request sterilization and thus we propose that a dual laparoscopic procedure in these cases could be the treatment of choice.
