Transposition of the left renal vein in nutcracker syndrome.
Mesoaortic compression of left renal vein produces left renal vein hypertension resulting in left flank pain, hematuria and pelvic-ureteral varices. This is called the nutcracker syndrome. The nutcracker syndrome has been treated in various ways. We recently experienced two cases of patients with nutcracker syndrome. We treated the patients with transposition of their left renal vein.
