Thrombose de la veine dorsale superficielle de la verge : à propos d'un cas observé à Abidjan

Introduction: Superficial dorsal penile vein thrombosis (SDPVT), or penile Mondor's disease, is a rare condition, seldom described in the literature. It occurs in a particular context and requires rigorous clinical and paraclinical investigation. Case presentation: We report the case of a 29-year-old smoker who presented with spontaneous retropubic pain and swelling of the penis. Doppler ultrasound of the penile vessels revealed a thrombus obstructing the superficial dorsal vein. Treatment with a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) led to a favourable outcome, with no recurrence after 10 months of follow-up. Conclusion: The management of SDPVT is not yet codified by guidelines.
