Nephrosis with varicocele: probable renal vein thrombosis.
A 3-year-old boy with relapsing nephrosis presented with a left sided varicocele. Echographic studies demonstrated enlargement of the left kidney, and there was delayed excretion on renal scintigraphy suggesting the presence of renal vein thrombosis. The varicocele resolved with remission of his nephrosis.
