Abstract
- Priapism attributable to an anticoagulant drug has rarely been reported. Although the pathophysiology of this type of priapism is not well understood, most investigators contend that thromboembolic phenomena play either a causative or supportive role. We describe a case of priapism associated with the discontinuation of oral warfarin.
