Superimposition of nutcracker syndrome in a hematuric child with idiopathic hypercalciuria and urolithiasis.
We report a 5-year-old girl with idiopathic hypercalciuria who developed gross hematuria and left flank pain despite normalization of calciuria, a renal stone, and microscopic hematuria. She was found to have nutcracker syndrome by renal Doppler ultrasound, which revealed the significant differences of the peak blood flow velocities in the two portions of the left renal vein.
