Abstract :Nutcracker syndrome insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NS);, caused by compression of the left renal vein insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LRV); between the superior mesenteric artery insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SMA); and the aorta, results in elevation of LRV pressure and collateral vein development. This meso-aortic compression may present with hematuria, left flank pain and proteinuria. Several treatment options have been described to relieve associated symptoms. In this paper we report a 16-years-old girl with episodic macroscopic hematuria and left flank pain who was diagnosed as NS and successfully treated with LRV transposition.Keywords : Hematuria, Left renal vein, Nutcracker syndrome, Transposition
