Popis: Arterial priapism, rare and often traumatic, is generally associated with cavernous arterial lesions. We report an unprecedented case in a 17-year-old adolescent, occurring spontaneously after severe dengue, expanding the understanding of this pathology. No similar association has been previously documented in the literature. The patient was successfully treated with conservative measures, and erections returned to normal. Dengue, by causing vascular leaks, could be a rare trigger for arterial priapism. Further studies are needed to elucidate these mechanisms and potential clinical implications.
