Abstract: Nutcracker syndrome (NCS) is caused by a compression of left renal vein between aorta and superior mesenteric artery. Typically, it presents with symptoms like abdominal pain, hematuria, and varicocele, but hypertension is rarely noted. This is a rare condition and often under-diagnosed, more prevalent in females and if not treated, can lead to severe problems. There are no clear guidelines regarding management. We present a case of a 45-year-old woman experiencing intense pain in the lower abdomen, with no signs of hematuria, who was diagnosed with nutcracker syndrome after undergoing a computed tomography scan
