Abstract
Partial segmental thrombosis of the corpus cavernosum is a rare disease of unknown
etiology; the thrombosis is always located in the proximal part of the corpus cavernosum,
usually unilaterally. Typical clinical presentation with perineal pain and swelling
in combination with cross-sectional imaging allows one to confidentially establish
this diagnosis.
