Deep Vein Thrombosis: A Rare Cause of Acute Testicular Pain. Case Report: Literature Review

Introduction: Thrombosis is defined as the formation of a clot in a blood vessel that obstructs the flow of blood to the peripheral tissues. The incidence of thromboembolic disease ranges from 0.7 to 1.2% within urology. Case Report: A 40-year-old warehouse worker male presented to the emergency department with worsening of a month’s lasting scrotal pain. Physical examination showed the presence of an enlarged and painful left testicle with no other findings. Right testicle, penis and abdominal examination showed no abnormalities whatsoever. Bilateral varicocele with a partial thrombosis of the left one associated with left inguinal hernia was diagnosed by performing an urgent testicular ultrasound test. Conservative treatment was first given. However, since pain was not relieved, surgery was indicated with left varicocelectomy and a left inguinal hernia repair procedure leading to complete symptoms control and normal testicular flow in the control Doppler ultrasound study 2 months after the surgery. Conclusion: Spontaneous thrombosis of the pampiniform plexus is a rare entity where the management remains controversial. The clinical case we report here shows that surgery may be considered an effective option.

“…Although an ultrasound [10, 11] is the gold standard diagnostic test, there are other methods as well such as a venogram [10, 8] or computed tomography, which may rule out this and other causes like thrombosis of the inferior vena cava or renal vein extending to the left spermatic vein [6]. …”

“… 1 In these circonstances, ultransound can be helpful to avoid a useless surgical exploration. 2 Etiologies of spontaneous thrombose of left spermatic vein are unknown and several hypotheses were evoked for instance Buerger illness 3 and the prolonged effort or sexual activity. 4 Phlebography or Doppler ultrasound can confirm the diagnosis.…”

“…In the majority of these cases, particularly in those reported more recently, conservative management with oral anticoagulants has been recommended. Modern imaging studies permit detection of conditions that do require surgical therapy [1,2,5,7,8] . To our knowledge, the report of Delvett and Goodrich [9] was the first and only case of a patient with thrombosis of the spermatic vein that presented with a pulmonary thromboembolism.…”

Pulmonary Thromboembolism Secondary to Left Spermatic Vein Thrombosis: A Case Report

et al. 2008

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Spermatic vein thrombosis is a particularly rare entity which can be difficult to diagnose. Pulmonary embolism associated with spermatic vein thrombosis is rarely seen. We report the diagnosis and management of a case at our institution and recommend spermatic vein ligation as the definite treatment for thrombosed spermatic veins associated with pulmonary thromboembolism. We prefer laparoscopy as a minimally invasive approach because of its clear advantages over open surgery.

Thrombosis of the Spermatic Vein in Children

Abstract: We describe 3 children in whom thrombosis of the spermatic vein vessels caused swelling of the spermatic cord and epididymis with edema of the scrotum. Venography of the spermatic vein demonstrated the thrombosis and, therefore unnecessary exploration was avoided.
