Penile Mondor's syndrome after endovenous treatment of the great saphenous vein with 1470 nm diode laser

Abstract

We report a penile Mondor's disease after endovenous laser ablation with a 1470 nm diode laser of the great saphenous vein with additional foam sclerotherapy of distal tributaries. We administered body-weight adjusted full dose of low-molecular weight heparin (enoxaparin) in a therapeutic dosage for 10 days. In addition, anti-inflammatory therapy with diclofenac-sodium 75 mg twice a day for the following five days was initiated. One month later, the patient reported no further discomfort or pain and the thrombophlebitis of the superficial dorsal penile vein had sonographically disappeared completely.
