Mohd Ilyas, Zubair Ahmad, Insha Khan, Gh. Mohammad, ArifAhmad Wani

Abstract

We report the classic imaging features of nutcracker syndrome on computed tomography. The term nutcracker is used for the position of the left renal vein (LRV) between aorta and superior mesenteric artery. It is called as syndrome only when there occurs compression of the LRV between these structures due to decreased aortomesenteric angle.
