The nutcracker phenomenon consists in the compression of the left renal vein between the superior mesenteic artery and the aorta, and this syndrome is an infrequent cause of left-sided hematuria. We present a case of the nutcracker syndrome with intermittent gross hematuria to increase the awareness of this possible cause of hematuria.

Varicocele is a abnormal dilation of entire venous circulation of testis. The etiology of varicocele subfertility is not clear, but at least contributory to its development is a valvular insufficiency at the internal spermatic-left renal vein confluence. The aims of phlebography of the spermatic vein are to confirm the venous anatomy of varicocele, to establish the selection of treatment approach, and to prove the cause of postoperatively persistent varicocele. The transfemoral phlebography of internal spermatic vein was performed in 26 cases. passive reflux from the left renal vein to internal spermatic vein was observed in all cases. Distal nutcracker phenomenon(DNP) was observed in 6 cases, proximal nutcracker phenomenon(PNP) in 4 cases and suspicious PNP in 2 cases. The treatment of the varicocele was performed by Palomo`s procedure in 22 cases and by stainless steel spring coil occlusion in 4 cases. The persistent varicocele was found in 3 cases of Palomo`s procedure and 1 cases of coil occlusion.

The retroaortic renal vein is located posterior to the aorta due to congenital and developmental anomalies, which goes anterior to the aorta, normally. Even though a developmental retroaortic vein is the common congenital variation (3.3-16%), it is usually symptom free and is generally overlooked in many cases. However, after a kidney transplant, this kind of anatomical variation influences the technical feasibility of the operation, and special attention is needed. In addition, in surgery on an abdominal aneurysm, which needs mobilization of aorta, a retroaortic vein is important. This article reports a case of a retroaortic renal vein in 66 year-old female who had surgery for radical nephrectomy due to a tumor in the left kidney.

Nutcracker syndrome consists in the compression of the left renal vein by an aortomesenteric clamp. This results in left renal venous hypertension leading to the development of collateral veins with intrarenal and perirenal varicosities which can cause hematuria. The main presenting symptom is hematuria with or without left flank pain. It responds successfully to surgical treatment. We report a case of anesthesia for a nutcracker syndrome patient.

The small diameter and sclerosis of the veins are the main causes of failure of autogenous arterio-venous fistula(AVF) for hemodialysis. In addition, the deep location of veins prevents adequate access postoperatively, as exemplified by the frequent requirement of transposition of basilic veins either primarily or delayed. As for the cephalic veins, superficial transposition was not emphasized. We report a case of brachiocephalic AVF which required delayed superficial transposition for access. We emphasize that the depth of veins should be considered for adequate creation of AVF.
