title: A peculiar case of bilateral, spontaneous thromboses of the pampiniform plexi.
abstract: Acute thrombosis of the pampiniform plexus is an uncommon clinical problem which causes a diagnostic conundrum in men presenting urgently to medical personnel. We present an unusual case of a young man who presented with metachronous thromboses of his pampiniform plexi and review the literature to explore potential aetiologies and therapeutic strategies.
