[A case of non-traumatic rupture of varicocele].
We report a case of a non-traumatic rupture of varicocele. A 28-year-old man visited our hospital complaining of left scrotal swelling with severe spontaneous pain of sudden onset after straining for defecation. MRI revealed a dilated spermatic cord with scrotal hematoma surrounding the left testis, which leads to the diagnosis of varicocele rupture. Conservative treatment with oral analgesics for a couple of weeks relieved the swelling and pain. Subinguinal microscopic ligation of left spermatic veins was performed 4 months later.
