{Abstract}: Nutcracker syndrome is a rare condition that arises from the left renal vein getting compressed between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery. Despite its clinical significance, this syndrome is often challenging to diagnose and is frequently overlooked. Its key clinical presentations include hematuria and pelvic or back pain. This condition involves elevated pressure on the left renal vein, leading to various signs and symptoms, with hematuria being a common manifestation. Herein, we report a 28-year-old woman with no medical history who presented with hematuria for two months. Abdominal CT revealed compression of the left renal vein between the superior mesenteric artery and abdominal aorta, with dilated left ovarian vein and pelvic varices, consistent with nutcracker syndrome.
