Abdominal pain is one of the most common causes of admission
to pediatric emergency department. Point-of care ultrasonography
combined with appropriate history and physical examination provides
rapid and accurate management of abdominal pain in emergency
setting. Here, we report a 15-year-old girl with abdominal pain who
was diagnosed with Nutcracker syndrome by the guidance of pointof-
care ultrasound findings.
