Entrapment of the left renal vein (LRV) between the abdominal aorta (AA) and the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) was first described in 1950 by El Sadr and Mina and given the name nutcracker syndrome (NS) by De Schepper and Chait. These two cases highlight a rare cause of haematuria viz. nutcracker syndrome. Due to its relative rarity and non availability of advanced imaging, it is rarely diagnosed and is underreported in developing countries.
