Retroaortic left renal vein (RLRV) is a normal anatomical variant where the left renal vein is located between the aorta and the vertebra and drains into the inferior vena cava.
Its recognition is important in order to avoid complications during retroperitoneal surgery or interventional procedures .
Epidemiology
Retroaortic left renal vein has an estimated prevalence of ~2% .
Clinical presentation
Urological symptoms can be caused by increased pressure in the renal vein resulting in venous hypertension. This is an atypical form of nutcracker syndrome. Patients can present with hematuria and recurrent left flank pain.
Types
The retroaortic position of the left renal vein has four subtypes :
