title: [Thrombosis of the superficial dorsal vein of the penis (penile Mondor's phlebitis). The interest of Doppler examination].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Thrombosis of the superficial dorsal vein of the penis (TSDVP) is a frequent and benign pathology that is often underestimated.
  
  
  METHODS
  A patient consulted for acute erectile dysfunction and pain in the base of the penis due to a TSDVP, which was treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents and anticoagulants and was followed-up by Doppler ultrasound examination of the penis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Essentially clinical, the diagnosis of TSDVP can benefit from Doppler ultrasound of the penis in difficult cases, because it is a useful tool for correct diagnosis and therapeutic management of the pathology.
