    AbstractInternal 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.Copyright: © Pakistan Journal of Medical Sciences.
