Abstract

Objective: To describe a diagnosed case of a rare disease known as Nutcracker Syndrome (SQN) or Nutcracker, treated endovascularly, showing satisfactory effectiveness in the technique. Case Details: Female patient, 22 years old, presenting chronic pelvic pain with irradiation to the left flank and hematuria episode. Computed tomography scan showed compression of the left renal vein, dilation of the left gonadal vein and the presence of bilateral pelvic varices, diagnosing the disease. She underwent angioplasty with a left renal vein stent. He was discharged from hospital with improvement of symptoms. During follow-up, she evolved with postoperative complications, being treated appropriately. Control tomography was performed showing patency of the stent in the left renal vein. He is being followed up on an outpatient basis with vascular surgery and urology. Final considerations: The treatment of the disease is debatable and according to the symptoms, although the endovascular technique with stent implantation has obtained excellent results, being considered safe, effective, less invasive and with less morbidity and mortality.
