Abstract

We report a rare case of posterior nut-cracker phenomenon and right adrenal incidentaloma in a young woman who was accurately diagnosed in the outpatient office with the help of the color flow Doppler Ultrasonography, and confirmed by Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA). However, the patient did not have obvious symptoms such as high blood pressure in some adrenal diseases except for occasionally microscopic hematuria and mild waist pain and is still under follow-up.
