An Incidental Finding of Posterior Nutcracker Syndrome: A Case Report.
Cureus
October 2024
Radiology, Osmania Medical College, Hyderabad, IND.
Posterior nutcracker syndrome (PNCS) is a rare vascular disorder involving the compression of the retro-aortic left renal vein between the aorta and the vertebral column. It often presents with left flank pain, hematuria, and varicocele. We report the case of a 39-year-old male who presented with diffuse abdominal pain, acute urinary retention, and left flank pain.

Article Synopsis
- - Nutcracker syndrome occurs when the left renal vein is compressed between the aorta and superior mesenteric artery, often seen in patients who have lost significant weight; this case reports a rare instance following complex biliary surgery.
- - A 32-year-old patient with a history of laparoscopic cholecystectomy developed persistent low back pain, and a CT scan revealed nutcracker syndrome due to weight loss that reduced the aorto-mesenteric angle; anticoagulant treatment resulted in improvement.
- - The syndrome has three types categorized by the angle of compression, and significant weight loss can worsen the condition; conservative management is effective in most cases, with 60-80% of patients seeing symptom resolution.

Article Synopsis
- Left renal vein variants are rare but important to recognize due to their potential clinical impacts, particularly during surgeries.
- Standard anatomy involves the renal vein running in front of the aorta to the inferior vena cava, whereas common variants include circumaortic or retroaortic veins.
- A unique case is presented in which the left renal vein is compressed by the left iliac artery and vertebral bodies, also linked to superior mesenteric artery syndrome, where the duodenum gets compressed between major blood vessels.
Cesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta spectrum: 3-2-1 approach.
Gynecol Oncol Rep

Division of Gynecologic Oncology, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The 3-2-1 approach is a surgical method proposed to manage cesarean hysterectomy for placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) with the goal of reducing complications and improving outcomes.
- It involves three main steps: first, identifying three anatomical landmarks to create a safe surgical site; second, utilizing a two-hand technique to gently elevate the uterus and placenta; and third, considering a supracervical hysterectomy to better handle the situation.
- The overall aim is to enhance safety and efficiency during surgery by following this structured approach.
