Faces of NCS & Patient Stories
Faces of NCS and Patient Stories are a way for our community to share the people and experiences behind Nutcracker Syndrome. Submitted photos, quotes, and stories may be used across NCSA’s website, social media, awareness videos, and other Awareness Day materials to help more people understand NCS and the many different experiences within our community.

Faces of NCS
Patient Stories
Faces of NCS highlights the real people behind Nutcracker Syndrome. Participants can submit a photo of themselves, along with a short message about what NCS means to them or what they wish others understood. The goal is to help raise awareness by showing the many different people affected by NCS and putting real faces to the diagnosis.
Patient Stories give members of the NCS community space to share their experiences in their own words. Stories may include symptoms, the path to diagnosis, treatment experiences, daily life with NCS, and lessons learned along the way. By sharing these experiences, patients can help others feel less alone while giving the public a better understanding of what living with Nutcracker Syndrome can really look like.
