UNASSIGNED: Penile Mondor\'s disease (PMD) is a rare syndrome characterized by sclerosis after superficial thrombophlebitis of the superficial penile veins. The most usual appearance of PMD is a tender, palpable, painful, and sometimes visible cord on the dorsal surface of the penis. Its pathogenesis is still unclear, and a standardized treatment has not been established.
UNASSIGNED: A 54-year-old male patient presented with a left-sided indirect reducible inguinal hernia. The patient underwent Lichtenstein\'s procedure for inguinal hernia repair. On the tenth postoperative day, he returned with PMD confirmed by Doppler ultrasonography examination. Treatment with 4000 UI low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) daily for three weeks resolved the symptoms, but mild venous ectasia just to the proximal part of the penis remained.
UNASSIGNED: The exact cause of PMD is not well understood, but various studies have identified certain factors associated with an increased risk of the condition. Out of various potential factors that could trigger PMD, the repair of an inguinal hernia has been reported only once. Treatment may involve pain management, anti-inflammatory medications, anticoagulants, and, in some cases, surgery.
UNASSIGNED: PMD after open hernia repair surgery is a very rare benign condition. Correct diagnosis and prompt treatment allowed symptom resolution. Residual venous ectasia has no clinical significance other than a cosmetic appearance.

UNASSIGNED: To determine the impact of Penile Mondor\'s disease (PMD) in patients with erectile dysfunction (ED).
UNASSIGNED: Forty-seven patients diagnosed with PMD were included in the study and analyzed prospectively. The patients were divided into two groups according to the presence of ED at admission. The patients with ED were named Group 1, and those without ED were named Group 2. The International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) forms at admission, 3rd, and 6th months were compared.
UNASSIGNED: There were 21 (44.6%) patients in Group 1 and 26 (55.4%) patients in Group 2. The mean patient ages in Group 1 and Group 2 were 38.1 ± 7.5 and 26.9 ± 10.3 years, respectively (p < 0.001). The mean admission IIEF-5 score was 19.52 ± 1.21 in Group 1 and 22.92 ± 1.23 in Group 2. After treatment, the mean IIEF-5 scores in Group 1 were 19.24 ± 1.14 and 19.09 ± 1.09 at the 3rd and 6th months, respectively. The mean IIEF-5 scores in Group 2 was 22.77 ± 0.99 and 22.96 ± 1.08 at 3rd and 6th months, respectively. In Group 1, the 6th-month IIEF-5 score was lower than the initial score (p = 0.026). In Group 1, the mean BAI score at 6 months increased compared to admission (6.0 ± 1.27 vs 5.43 ± 1.43, p = 0.015).
UNASSIGNED: PMD can worsen symptoms in men with ED who have a low IIEF5 score. The anxiety of recurrence of PMD during sexual intercourse may have caused this situation, or this may also be due to the natural progression of ED.

Mondor\'s disease is a rare, self-limiting, benign process with acute presentation characterized by subcutaneous bands in several parts of the body. Penile Mondor\'s disease (PMD) is thrombophlebitis of the superficial dorsal vein of the penis. It is usually considered as thrombophlebitis or phlebitis of subcutaneous vessels. Some findings suggest that it might be of lymphatic origin. The chest, abdominal wall, penis, upper arm, and other parts of the body may also be involved by the disease. Although its physiopathology is not exactly known, transection of the vessel during surgery or any type of trauma such as external compression may trigger its possible development. This disease almost always limits itself. It may be associated with psychological distress and sexual incompatibility. The patients usually feel the superficial vein of the penis like a hard rope and present with complaint of pain around this hardness. Diagnosis is usually easy with physical examination but color Doppler ultrasound examination is important for differential diagnosis. Thus, a close collaboration is required between radiologist and urologist in order to determine the correct diagnosis and appropriate therapies.
La maladie de Mondor est une entité rare, auto-limitée et bénigne, de présentation aiguë, qui est caractérisée par la présence de cordons sous-cutanés en différentes régions du corps. La maladie de Mondor pénienne est une thrombophlébite de la veine dorsale superficielle du pénis. Elle est habituellement considérée comme une thrombophlébite ou une phlébite des vaisseaux sous-cutanés. Quelques éléments suggèrent qu’elle pourrait être d’origine lymphatique. La paroi latérothoracique, la paroi abdominale, le pénis, le bras et d’autres parties du corps peuvent être touchés par la maladie. Cette maladie est presque toujours auto-limitée. Bien que la physiopathologie n’en soit pas précisément connue, la section transversale d’un vaisseau lors d’une chirurgie ou n’importe quel type de traumatisme, telle qu’une compression externe, peuvent constituer le déclencheur d’un possible développement. Elle peut être associée à une détresse psychologique et des difficultés sexuelles. Le patient ressent habituellement cette veine superficielle du pénis comme un cordon dur et se plaint d’une douleur autour de cette induration. Le diagnostic en est habituellement facile à l’examen clinique, mais l’examen par écho-doppler couleur est important pour le diagnostic différentiel. Aussi, une étroite collaboration est requise entre le radiologiste et l’urologue pour poser un diagnostic correct et mettre en place les traitements appropriés.
