ABSTRACT
A case of nutcracker syndrome which was initially diagnosed by magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is reported. On preoperative MRA in an 18-year-old male patient with gross hematuria, left renal vein was obliterated at the level of superior mesenteric artery and there was no connection with inferior vena cava. The follow-up MRA after surgical correction with external prosthesis demonstrated entire course of left renal vein without evidence of obstruction which might suggest a possible usage of MRA for a non-invasive diagnosis of nutcracker syndrome.
