TI  - Case report: ischemic priapism secondary to tinzaparin.

AB  - Low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) therapy has recently been proposed as a cause 
      of ischemic priapism. The evidence, however, remains scarce, as there are very 
      few published cases of LMWH-induced priapism to date. The implications of such 
      events are significant as ischemic priapism is a medical emergency. In current 
      clinical practice we are seeing a trend towards LMWH therapies replacing 
      unfractionated heparin (UFH). As LMWH therapies continue to gain favor, we will 
      potentially see more cases of LMWH-induced priapism. As such, consideration 
      should be given to determine the underlying pathophysiology and incidence of 
      LMWH-induced priapism. Herein, we present the case of a 33-year-old male with 
      priapism in the setting of tinzaparin treatment.
