DOI : 10.24953/turkjped.2021.1271 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 : priapism, COVID-19, child
