title: Nutcracker syndrome in a patient with a history of inferior vena cava ligation.
abstract: We report the case of a child with clinical and radiological signs of nutcracker syndrome who had a history of inferior vena cava ligation during a previous surgery. He was referred for evaluation of abdominal pain and hematuria. Entrapment of the left renal vein between the superior mesenteric artery and the aorta with aneurysmal dilatation was detected on Doppler ultrasonography. Magnetic resonance angiography revealed paravertebral and epidural collateral vessels.
