Abstract
Pampiniform plexus thrombosis is a very rare disease (only less than 25 published cases are available till date), and it is a diagnostic dilemma. The present case is an unusual condition of an elderly gentleman who was finally diagnosed as a case of spontaneous thrombosis of bilateral pampiniform plexus and was managed conservatively. Literature was reviewed to explore potential etiologies and therapeutic strategies.
