| Popis: |
Scrotal edema and positional priapism are uncommon chief complaints with a scant differential. May-Thurner syndrome as well as inferior vena cava thrombosis are not often associated with these symptoms. This report outlines the case of a 50-year-old male who has undergone pulmonary artery thrombectomy and inferior vena cava filter placement. He presents with a chief complaint of scrotal swelling and positional priapism, likely low-flow priapism. Upon further work up, in-filter thrombosis was identified, likely attributed to a lack of anticoagulation and May-Thurner syndrome was diagnosed. The patient subsequently underwent thrombolysis and thrombectomy and was found to have May-Thurner syndrome which was treated with left iliac vein stenting. |
