Nutcracker phenomenon or renal vein entrapment is classically seen as a compression of renal vein... more Nutcracker phenomenon or renal vein entrapment is classically seen as a compression of renal vein in between abdominal aorta and superior mesenteric artery with patients being asymptomatic or clinically manifested in the form of nutcracker syndrome as proteinuria, hematuria, flank pain, pelvic congestion in women, and varicocele in men. In this report, we are presenting a case of rare variant of nutcracker phenomenon along with brief review of anatomy, pathophysiology, public health, and clinical significance of nutcracker syndrome. On a routine dissection of an adult male cadaver, we noticed an unusual arrangement of the structures at the hilum of the left kidney showing entrapment of renal vein between left anterior inferior and posterior segmental renal arteries. The variation in the course of left anterior inferior segmental renal artery leads to compression of left renal vein at renal hilum. Therefore, we have named this rare abnormal anatomical entity as hilar nutcracker pheno...

Ectopic thyroid tissue is a rare congenital anomaly due to developmental defect in thyroid gland.... more Ectopic thyroid tissue is a rare congenital anomaly due to developmental defect in thyroid gland. Ectopic, accessory, or aberrant thyroid refers to the presence of thyroid tissue in locations other than normal pretracheal position in the anterior neck region. The thyroid dysgenesis occurs due to abnormal organogenesis of the thyroid gland leading to morphological variations, such as hypoplasia, hemiagenesis, and agenesis with ectopic thyroid being the most common form of thyroid dysgenesis. Here, we are presenting a case of dual thyroid in the form of ectopic or accessory thyroid tissue along with normal location thyroid found during a routine dissection of a female cadaveric body. The ectopic thyroid tissue was seen as an oval structure about 2.2 cm x 1.6cm x 1.0 cm, situated in the midline near the hyoid bone. It was located 10.2 cm superior to a normally located thyroid gland and consistent with the track of the thyroglossal duct. The ectopic thyroid tissue could be asymptomatic or it could present with any disorder affecting the main thyroid gland including malignancy. The significance of this cadaveric case report and a brief review of the literature on normal location thyroid gland and ectopic thyroid highlight an uncommon but potentially important congenital anomaly that can be a source of diagnostic confusion and a challenge for therapeutic management.

On a routine dissection of an adult male cadaver, we noticed an unusual arrangement of the structures at the hilum of the left kidney showing entrapment of renal vein between left anterior inferior and posterior segmental renal arteries. The variation in the course of left anterior inferior segmental renal artery leads to compression of left renal vein at renal hilum. Therefore, we have named this rare abnormal anatomical entity as hilar nutcracker phenomenon. The structures in the right renal hilum are normal. The objective of this paper is to report an unusual but important variant of nutcracker phenomenon and also give collective knowledge of such anatomical variations in renal vasculature that will help in diagnosing and treating such rare renal disorder.
