Rare cause of acute scrotal swelling and pain in adult- a case report on spontaneous pampiniform plexus thrombosis and literature review.

Acute scrotal pain is a common urological emergency where clinical judgement plays pivotal role in making the diagnosis. Scrotal pain secondary to spontaneous pampiniform plexus thrombosis is rare, and we are the first who report in the Asian region. A 50-year-old gentleman presented with left-sided scrotal pain & swelling. The diagnosis of pampiniform plexus thrombosis was confirmed by the ultrasound Doppler. He was treated with anticoagulant and good clinical result was obtained. Uncomplicated thrombosis could be managed non-surgically with good clinical outcome and radiological resolution. Ultrasound doppler remains first-line investigation to establish diagnosis, monitor the progression and treatment outcome.
