| Deskribapena: | Nutcracker syndrome is a vascular abnormality in which the left renal vein is compressed as it passes between the junction of the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery. This syndrome is more common in women and is characterized by symptoms such as abdominal pain, low back pain, hematuria, and proteinuria. This paper describes two cases of adolescents, one male and the other female, who attended a nephrology outpatient clinic due to non-specific symptoms (pollakiuria and abdominal pain) accompanied by gross hematuria and persistent microscopic hematuria. For this reason, complementary studies were required and the diagnosis of nutcracker syndrome was made. In conclusion, these two cases are presented because they are a pathology of low prevalence, which makes it difficult to suspect it in the face of frequent clinical manifestations and, for this reason, it must be known, detected and treated promptly. Key words: Nutcracker Syndrome, Renal, Hematuria, Renal Vein. Source: MeSH. |
