Role of ultrasonography with color-Doppler in diagnosis of penile Mondor’s disease

Abstract: Penile Mondor's disease (superficial thrombophlebitis of the penis dorsal vein) is an uncommon and benign pathology that affects sexually active men. Although the diagnosis is made by physical examination in most patients, sonography may be required in some cases. Color-Doppler ultrasonography clearly visualizes dorsal vein thrombosis and the associated hemodynamic alterations. We describe the symptoms, the sonographic findings and treatment of this disease in a 26-year-old male with superficial thrombophlebit… Show more

“…If there is a high index of suspicion for any malignancy, such as through observation of migratory thrombophlebitis, it may be appropriate to employ further imaging techniques. As noted by Dell'Atti, clinicians can employ US both to confirm PMD diagnosis and to exclude an underlying mass compressing veins [4]. Though more advanced imaging techniques do not add additional information beyond US on the extent of clot formation, they may have utility in determining pathogenesis of PMD and evaluating for tumor, as reported by AlMwalad et al in a study of 25 patients [27•].…”

“…A periurethral abscess can be readily diagnosed by penile ultrasonography which is both a cheap and inexpensive imaging modality, but does rely on operator skill. 4 Once diagnosed, immediate suprapubic catheterization is required as well as drainage of the abscess, debridement of the affected tissue, and antibiotic coverage. 2 …”

“…Se han descrito tres fases de la enfermedad: Aguda, que corresponde a la aparición de síntomas intensos en las primeras 24-48 horas; subaguda, que se caracteriza por persistencia ..de los.. síntomas hasta por 8 semanas; tardía, en la que se puede presentar recanalización del lumen de la vena dorsal superficial del pene con reabsorción del coágulo, recanalización vascular y resolución sintomática o persistencia de síntomas por más de 9 semanas. 15 El diagnóstico de esta entidad se basa en los hallazgos al examen físico (cordón filiforme palpable y doloroso en la cara dorsal del pene); por años se ha postulado el uso de imágenes diagnósticas (Ecografía doppler de pene, Resonancia magnética nuclear de pene) como ayudas adecuadas para el abordaje diagnóstico 16 dados los hallazgos confirmatorios que se pueden evidenciar (ausencia de flujo venoso, edema circundante a vena dorsal superficial del pene, lesión hiperecoica no compresible en el trayecto de la vena dorsal del pene, flujo de alta resistencia en la arteria cavernosa 17,18 ), sin embargo, recientemente Polat y col., 19 han puesto de manifiesto la necesidad de disminuir el uso del armamentario imagenológico en una entidad cuya historia natural está dirigida hacia la autorresolución. Es preciso aclarar que dicha experiencia utilizó la ecografía doppler con aplicación intracavernosa de agentes vasoactivos para la ejecución del diagnóstico, sin embargo, los autores consideramos, de forma similar a los descrito por Yeo Han y col., en su experiencia, 20 que el uso de agentes vasoactivos no resulta imprescindible para el abordaje diagnóstico de esa entidad y que la ecografía doppler de pene sin sustancias vasoactivas puede ser un recurso útil que genera datos suficientes para el abordaje diagnóstico de la enfermedad peneana de Mondor.…”
