    We report an interesting case of massive haematuria secondary to a rupture of a pseudoa- neurysm of the abdominal aorta below the renal vessels. A 65-year-old woman present- ed at our institution with a painful massive haematuria and anaemia. Two months before, she undergone a pelvic surgery complicated by an accidental injury of the right ureter sutured with a end-to-end anastomosis. An abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan with intravenous contrast showed a right-sided hydronephrosis with clots in the lumen of the right pelvis with a massive retroperitoneal hematoma due to a rupture of a iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm of the abdominal aorta below the origin of the renal arteries

    Three Unusual Cases of Nutcracker Syndrome Caused by Increased Blood Flow within the Left Renal Vein

    No full text
    Nutcracker syndrome (NCS) refers to the compression of the left renal vein (LRV) between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery. It can cause both microscopic and gross haematuria, with or without flank pain. The diagnosis is often delayed in a majority of symptomatic patients. On the other hand, the use of CT in routine abdominal explorations has increased the detection of the compression of the LRV in healthy and asymptomatic patients, but its diagnostic value remains uncertain. In this paper, we report 3 cases of the NCS associated with an increased blood flow in the LRV, due to different conditions, which we believe could produce the appearance of clinical symptoms
