Priapism in a patient with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
Thromboembolic complications related to SARS-CoV-2 have been extensively reported. They include deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, ischemic stroke, and acute coronary syndrome. Penile thrombosis has not been reported as a thrombotic complication of SARS-CoV-2 infection with hypercoagulability.Here we describe a case of priapism as a thromboembolic complication in a patient with COVID-19 who recovered from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We discuss the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms mainly related to an hypercoagulability state.
