| Abstract |
|
Nutcracker syndrome consists in the compression of the left renal vein by an aortomesenteric clamp. This results in left renal venous hypertension leading to the development of collateral veins with intrarenal and perirenal varicosities which can cause hematuria. The main presenting symptom is hematuria with or without left flank pain. It responds successfully to surgical treatment. We report a case of anesthesia for a nutcracker syndrome patient. |
