Introduction: Aneurysm of the communicating vein between the left renal vein and left ascending lumbar vein is extremely rare with only anecdotal reported cases. Unless detected and recognized promptly, this rare condition may give rise to severe bleeding in patients undergoing retroperitoneal surgery. It may also closely mimic enlarged retroperitoneal lymph nodes, paragangliomas, adrenal masses, or renal artery aneurysms. Case report: In this case study, we reported the imaging findings of this rare entity which was falsely diagnosed as enlarged retroperitoneal lymph node in an outside medical center, reported as to be consistent with metastatic disease, in a patient with newly diagnosed testicular cancer. Conclusion: The aneurysm of the communicating vein should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients with testicular cancer and other disease processes where lymph nodes are commonly affected.

AbstractAzygos venous system drains the venous blood from thoracic wall. Knowledge of variations of its course and tributaries is important to cardiothoracic surgeons, radiologists and orthopedic surgeons. We observed the following variations in the azygos veins. Both azygos and hemiazygos veins were formed by union of lumbar azygos and subcostal veins of corresponding sides. The ascending lumbar vein did not drain into the azygos system. The hemiazygos vein had a larger diameter than the lower part of azygos vein and it joined azygos vein at the level of seventh thoracic vertebra. Accessory hemiazygos vein was totally absent. The azygos vein received 4th to 11th right posterior intercostal veins and also received 3rd to 6th left posterior intercostal veins. Hemiazygos vein received 7th to 11th left posterior intercostal veins.

A NUMBER OF SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS can arise from malpositioned central venous catheters (CVCs), including cardiac tamponade and perforation, pleural effusions, and infusion into the vertebral venous system anywhere along the spinal column. Figure 1 is an x-ray of a premature infant taken after insertion of a 2.0 Silastic peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC), demonstrating the catheter entering the left ascending lumbar vein (ALV). Routine contrast injection of 0.3 mL of iothalamate meglumine 60 percent (Conray, Covidien Imaging Solutions, Hazelwood, Missouri) at the time of the PICC-placement film demonstrated that the contrast material extended into the vertebral venous plexus. The catheter was immediately withdrawn before intravenous fluid was administered, and the infant experienced no complications.

Primary Test

Nutcracker syndrome (NCS) is the most common term for compression of the left renal vein between the superior mesenteric artery and the abdominal aorta. The development of NCS is associated with the formation of the left renal vein (LRV) from the aortic collar during the sixth to eighth week of gestation and abnormal angulation of the superior mesenteric artery from the aorta. Collateralization of venous circulation is the most significant effect of NCS. It includes mainly the left gonadal vein and the communicating lumbar vein. Undiagnosed NCS may affect retroperitoneal surgery and other radiological and vascular procedures. The clinical symptoms of NCS may generally be described as renal presentation when symptoms like haematuria, left flank pain, and proteinuria occur, but urologic presentation is also possible. Radiological methods of confirming NCS include Doppler ultrasonography as a primary test, retrograde venography, which can measure the renocaval pressure gradient, computed tomography angiography, which is faster and less traumatic, intravascular ultrasound, and magnetic resonance angiography. Treatment can be conservative or surgical, depending on the severity of symptoms and degree of LRV occlusion. Nutcracker syndrome is worth considering especially in differential diagnosis of haematuria of unknown origin.
