Abstract
Background: Urological involvement is rare in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Priapism, one of the urological involvements, was reported as one of the COVID-19 comorbidities in the elderly male patient group but has rarely been reported in the pediatric age group.
Case: Herein, a previously healthy 8-year-old patient with COVID-19-associated priapism, which is rare in children, is presented.
Conclusions: During the pandemic, in pediatric cases with priapism of unknown etiology, COVID-19 should be one of the diagnoses to be considered.
Keywords: COVID-19; child; priapism.
