Abstract:
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been linked to thromboembolic complications. Priapism has been reported only once in link to SARS-CoV2. Here we report the second case of priapism in a patient with SARS-CoV2; our case is unique in being that the patient had priapism for 10 days while being hospitalized. We discuss potential causes and possible prevention strategies. The patient was managed by aspiration and Phenylephrine injection and achieved detumescence and reported normal erection at 2 weeks follow-up.
