Doppler ultrasonographic detection of nutcracker syndrome in a young child with intussusception: a case report.
We report on a 2-y-old male with intussusception accompanying nutcracker syndrome detected by renal Doppler ultrasound. Renal Doppler ultrasound revealed a significant difference in the peak velocity between the hilar and aortomesenteric portions of the left renal vein.


CONCLUSIONS
Renal Doppler ultrasound has been very useful and effective in detecting nutcracker syndrome in a young child.
