Abstract :
Intratesticular varicocele is a rare condition, with a reported inci-dence of less than 2%.1 Its clinical significance is not well estab-lished. The condition is characterized by dilatation of the intra-testicular veins in and around the mediastinum testis. color Doppler ultrasound can confirm the diagnosis. We present a case of a young man with nephrotic syndrome complicated by left renal vein thrombo-sis and left-sided extratesticular and intratesticular varicocele. to our knowledge, no case of intratesticular and extratesticular varicocele in a patient with nephrotic syndrome and a complicated left renal vein thrombosis has been reported concomitantly in the same patient.
