ABSTRACT
Spontaneous pampiniform plexus thrombosis is an extremely rare condition. Its aetiology and pathophysiology are unknown, and its diagnosis remains challenging. We present the first case of an adolescent patient with bilateral spontaneous pampiniform plexus thrombosis. He presented with a 2-day history of bilateral testicular pain. Biochemical investigations were unremarkable, and the patient did not have any risk factors. Ultrasound of the scrotum demonstrated bilateral pampiniform plexus thrombosis. He was managed conservatively and repeat scrotal ultrasound 3 months later revealed complete resolution. This case adds to the minimal literature on spontaneous pampiniform plexus thrombosis, supporting diagnosis via scrotal ultrasound while recommending conservative management without the use of anticoagulation for patients with no pre-existing coagulopathy.
