Abstract

Gross hematuria, besides being a serious renal disorder, is quite worrisome for the patients. It merits evaluationto determine the underlying cause and initiate timely management in order to prevent long term complications as well as permanent renal damage in some cases. Anatomical abnormalities causing gross hematuria are rare and often asymptomatic, hence not diagnosed routinely. Here we present two cases of gross hematuria with underlying anatomical abnormality known as the Nut Cracker Syndrome (NCS).
