Abstract

We report rare case of concomitant left nutcracker syndrome and right ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) on adult female patient diagnosed by CT urogram after she presented with intermittent bilateral flank pain. For this we did Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty for right ureteropelvic obstruction, it was laparoscopic initially but due to difficulty of stenting it is changed to open. She had smooth post-op course then discharged on 3rd post-op day. Symptoms of nutcracker syndrome are not that much bothersome for the patient so we planned to follow her conservatively.

Keywords: UPJO; nutcracker syndrome; pyeloplasty; ureteropelvic junction obstruction.
