“…However, the lack of robust reflux during pelvic angiography and no findings for May-Thurner syndrome led us to suspect NCS as the primary cause of her pelvic congestion. May-Thurner syndrome has been reported as a contributing factor in pelvic congestion syndrome [10] , [11] .…”

Nutcracker phenomenon is the descriptor for a patient's anatomy whenever the left renal vein becomes compressed between the abdominal aorta and the superior mesenteric artery. Nutcracker syndrome is the terminology used when the nutcracker phenomenon is accompanied by symptoms including pain (abdominal, flank, pelvic), hematuria, and orthostatic proteinuria. Diagnosis can be made with Doppler ultrasound, venography, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging. This case demonstrates some of the typical findings of nutcracker syndrome. The limited clinical features and interesting imaging findings, in addition to the young age of the patient, make this a notable case.

“…Laboratory tests often reveal signs of microhematuria, which is possibly associated with nutcracker syndrome (NCS), an anatomic variant in which the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and the aorta clamp the left renal vein (LRV), causing reflux from this vein and the LGV. According to Robertson & McCuaig, 3 NCS is a rare disease. Although the exact prevalence of NCS as a cause of PCS has not been quantified, the condition should always be investigated, in view of its importance in the presentation of PCS.…”

Resumo A dor pélvica crônica é uma doença debilitante, com impacto na qualidade de vida e custos para os serviços de saúde. A síndrome de quebra-nozes é uma importante causa dessa dor, e se refere a um conjunto de sinais secundários à compressão da veia renal esquerda, mais comumente entre a artéria mesentérica superior e a aorta. Seu tratamento ainda permanece controverso e varia de acordo com a gravidade clínica do paciente. Contudo, a técnica endovascular com implante de stent em veia renal tem obtido excelentes resultados. Relatamos um caso de uma paciente de 59 anos submetida a correção endovascular com stent autoexpansível de nitinol. São apresentados dados clínicos, detalhes do procedimento e resultados do acompanhamento dessa paciente. O sucesso técnico foi obtido e não houve relato de complicações pós-operatórias. Pôde-se observar alívio dos sintomas e melhora nos exames de imagem realizados no acompanhamento de curto prazo.

Aim: Pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS) is a poorly understood condition that can be associated with chronic pelvic pain and could impact quality of life. The diagnosis is often made by exclusion of other causes of pelvic pain. The purpose of our review was to provide an update on the etiology, anatomy, physiology, Identification, and the therapeutic management of pelvic congestion syndrome. Method: We conducted a literature review involving publications from 2003 to 2024 in PubMed, Elsevier, Medline as well as manual searches of primary and review articles using keywords such as “pelvic veins”, “embolization”, “venography”, “pelvic congestion syndrome”, and “chronic pelvic pain”. Conclusion: Pelvic Congestion Syndrome remains poorly understood. Symptoms can be non-specific and difficult to distinguish from other diseases; yet it is an important cause of chronic pelvic pain in women. To date, there have been only a small number of randomized trials and high-level evidence is still lacking. We call for an increased awareness of pelvic congestion syndrome and additional clinical studies in a large number of patients.
