We report a case of nutcracker syndrome that developed after delivery. A 32-year-old woman visited our clinic complaining of gross hematuria 4 months after delivery. Urethrocystoscopic examination failed to show hematuria coming from the ureteral orifice; however, enhanced computed tomography revealed the compression of the left renal vein between the aorta and superior mesenteric artery. Therefore, we diagnosed her with nutcracker syndrome and conservatively observed her. The macrohematuria disappeared by itself after 1 month. This is the first report to describe a case of nutcracker syndrome that developed after delivery.

Nutcracker syndrome (NCS) is an uncommon vascular condition caused by the compression of the left renal vein (LRN), which may result in venous hypertension and clinical symptoms, including hematuria, flank pain, and pelvic congestion. This report describes the case of a 30-year-old woman with recurrent painless macroscopic hematuria, ultimately diagnosed with NCS based on clinical and radiological findings. Computed tomography (CT) angiography revealed a reduced aortomesenteric angle and LRN compression without signs of severe venous hypertension or collateral circulation.
