Effort-induced spontaneous thrombosis of the left spermatic vein presenting clinically as a left inguinal hernia

J S Isenberg et al. J Urol. 1990 Jul.

Abstract

A unique case of exercise-induced spontaneous thrombosis of the spermatic vein that presented as an incarcerated left inguinal hernia is described. This entity may be clinically indistinguishable from many surgical conditions. Venography of the spermatic vein can be diagnostic but it should not delay surgical intervention.
