Anterior Nutcracker Syndrome (NCS) can occur when the aorta and superior mesenteric artery compress the left renal vein. Loin pain hematuria syndrome (LPHS) occurs as kidney pain resulting from a past insult to the kidney, most commonly from nephrolithiasis. We herein present a case of previously treated NCS. Three months after treatment with GVT, the pelvic congestion was resolved but left flank pain continued concerning for undiagnosed Loin Pain Hematuria. Additionally, we present a treatment algorithm that provides a differential pathway for diagnosis and treatment of combined NCS and LPHS.
