Sumario: | The first described case of deep dorsal vein thrombosis of the penis secondary to vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT), a complication of COVID adenoviral vector vaccines. The patient reported pain in the penis one month after vaccination. On ultrasound, a deep dorsal vein thrombosis was found and a biological workup was ordered to confirm the VITT trail. Anticoagulant therapy was immediately initiated and the patient responds well while suffering from erectile dysfunction. VITT is a potentially serious event that can be life-threatening; every practitioner should know how to deal with it. |
