The nutcracker syndrome is a pathology characterized by compression of the left renal vein, between the superior mesenteric artery and the abdominal aorta, sometimes being difficult to diagnose and complex treatment. It usually affects young women and is manifested mainly by abdominal pain and hematuria, causing many visits to the emergency services and specialists until the final diagnosis. We present two very illustrative cases of young women who after multiple consultations were finally diagnosed with nutcracker syndrome.
