“…Therefore, the increase in body mass index during childhood might improve hemodynamics in the LRV. Nutcracker syndrome may be also present in children and is believed to be an important cause of pediatric varicocele [ 36 ]. In isolated cases, nontreated, misdiagnosed NCS may produce a solitary LRV thrombosis as a severe complication [ 37 ].…”

Nutcracker syndrome (NCS) is the most common term for compression of the left renal vein between the superior mesenteric artery and the abdominal aorta. The development of NCS is associated with the formation of the left renal vein (LRV) from the aortic collar during the sixth to eighth week of gestation and abnormal angulation of the superior mesenteric artery from the aorta. Collateralization of venous circulation is the most significant effect of NCS. It includes mainly the left gonadal vein and the communicating lumbar vein. Undiagnosed NCS may affect retroperitoneal surgery and other radiological and vascular procedures. The clinical symptoms of NCS may generally be described as renal presentation when symptoms like haematuria, left flank pain, and proteinuria occur, but urologic presentation is also possible. Radiological methods of confirming NCS include Doppler ultrasonography as a primary test, retrograde venography, which can measure the renocaval pressure gradient, computed tomography angiography, which is faster and less traumatic, intravascular ultrasound, and magnetic resonance angiography. Treatment can be conservative or surgical, depending on the severity of symptoms and degree of LRV occlusion. Nutcracker syndrome is worth considering especially in differential diagnosis of haematuria of unknown origin.

“…The definition of renal venous hypertension in the literature is limited, but it can be defined as an increased pressure gradient between the renal vein and larger draining vein (external iliac vein in the setting of a renal transplant) 15 . In the literature, renal venous hypertension causing collateral vessels has been described in the setting of “nutcracker syndrome” 16 , 17 due to compression of the left renal vein between the aorta and overlying superior mesenteric artery. To our knowledge, the development of venous collaterals as venous drainage for the renal allograft has been described in only 1 case report, 13 secondary to chronic main renal vein thrombosis.…”

High Venous Pressure in the Main Renal Vein Causing Development of Peritransplant Venous Collaterals in Renal Transplant Patients

We will show the sonographic appearance of peritransplant venous collaterals in renal transplants with renal venous hypertension. Three cases of renal transplants with pericapsular vessels were identified at our institution. Two cases were related to renal vein thrombosis. The third case had pericapsular vessels secondary to venous hypertension from arterialization of the transplant renal vein by a preexisting right thigh arteriovenous graft. The development of high venous pressures in renal transplants leading to the collaterals' venous drainage has been rarely described. This finding should be recognized as a rare complication of renal transplants but does not necessarily lead to transplant failure.
