Internal iliac artery aneurysms are a relatively uncommon condition that can have serious consequences if left untreated. This paper presents a case of erectile dysfunction caused by thrombosis of the internal iliac artery aneurysms in a 52-years-old male patient with common iliac and internal iliac artery aneurysms. Following the intracavernous self-injection treatment, the patient's complaints about erectile dysfunction ceased. Aneurysms were monitored closely. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first case of erectile dysfunction being presented as a consequence of thrombosed iliac artery aneurysms. Erectile dysfunction itself is not a life-threatening condition. However, it should be highlighted that erectile dysfunction can be a sign of life-threatening iliac artery diseases, as in this case. Therefore, it is crucial to recognize the potential seriousness of this condition and to investigate it thoroughly.
髂内动脉瘤是一种相对罕见的病症，如果不进行治疗可能会产生严重后果。本文介绍了一名52岁患有髂总动脉和髂内动脉瘤的男性患者，因髂内动脉瘤血栓形成导致勃起功能障碍的病例。经海绵体内自我注射治疗后，患者关于勃起功能障碍的主诉消失。对动脉瘤进行了密切监测。据我们所知，这是首例因髂动脉动脉瘤血栓形成而导致勃起功能障碍的病例。勃起功能障碍本身并非危及生命的病症。然而，应当强调的是，如本病例所示，勃起功能障碍可能是危及生命的髂动脉疾病的一个迹象。因此，认识到这种病症的潜在严重性并进行全面调查至关重要。
