ABSTRACT
This is a rare case of thrombosis of the dorsal vein of the penis (Mondor's disease) occurred after an anterior-lateral retroperitoneal approach for a vertebral stabilisation in thoracolumbar vertebral fracture. Potential causes are traumatism, neoplasms, excessive sexual activity or abstinence. Although penile Mondor's disease is a clinical diagnosis, ultrasound imaging is the gold standard to confirm it. In the reported case, 1 week after neurosurgical retroperitoneal procedure of vertebral stabilisation, the patient complained of a painful cord-like mass midshaft of penis. The diagnosis was made by clinical evaluation and ultrasound images. After 2 weeks of therapy with enoxaparin sodium, the patient recovered. The authors report this case evaluating the possible correlation between the anterior-lateral retroperitoneal approach and the development of the rare Mondor's disease.
