    Abstract:
    Partial unilateral penile thrombosis of the corpus cavernosum is a very rare disease and occurs mainly in young men. The leading symptoms are perineal swelling and pain, while erectile function is maintained. The exact pathogenesis of this condition remains unclear. This is the first report of partial penile thrombosis due to hyperhomocysteinemia. Magnetic resonance imaging is the procedure of choice in diagnostics of partial penile thrombosis. For the treatment of partial penile thrombosis, surgical procedures are increasingly being replaced by more conservative treatments with analgesics and heparinization. Both surgical and conservative treatment provides excellent outcomes. A table provided in this article lists all published cases and refers to pathogenesis, diagnostics, therapy, and follow-up.
