THE RARE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN SPONTANEOUS PAMPINIFORM PLEXUS THROMBOSIS AND ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID ANTIBODY SYNDROME (APS), ONE CASE REPORT

Article scientifique 2019 Anglais

Résumé

Spontaneous pampiniform plexus thrombosis is rare and difficult to diagnose, with a clinical condition similar to other causes of scrotal pain. It is usually associated with intense physical effort, resulting in an increase of intra-abdominal pressure and reduction of venous return. Ultrasonographic findings are similar to those of varicocele; the vessels of the pampiniform plexus are dilated, with a caliber >3 mm, but with echogenic material characterizing in the interior representing intraluminal thrombi. Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome (APS) should be part of the differential diagnosis of arterial and / or venous thromboses, especially in young patients. The pathophysiology of APS is not fully understood, however, it is assumed that the clinical manifestations are basically due to vascular thromboses.
