Nutcracker phenomenon is the condition that occurs most commonly at the morphologic type by compression of the left renal vein between the aorta and superior mesenteric artery. The diagnosis is often delayed because of the variability in manifestations and absence of consensus on diagnostic criteria. We report a 30-year-old woman who presented gross hematuria several days after a kidney transplant. Nutcracker syndrome was established intraoperatively during open surgical approach for bladder clot evacuation. Renal repositioning was done with relief in the degree of hematuria intraoperatively. No episode of gross hematuria was observed on follow-up after 8 months.
