Priapism
Penis
The external reproductive organ of males. It is composed of a mass of erectile tissue enclosed in three cylindrical fibrous compartments. Two of the three compartments, the corpus cavernosa, are placed side-by-side along the upper part of the organ. The third compartment below, the corpus spongiosum, houses the urethra.

Outpatient penile aspiration and epinephrine irrigation for young patients with sickle cell anemia and prolonged priapism. (1/83)
The optimal management of prolonged priapism for patients with sickle cell anemia (SCA) has not been established. We prospectively studied in an outpatient setting the efficacy and safety of a procedure that employs aspiration of blood from the corpora cavernosa and irrigation with a dilute epinephrine solution under local anesthesia to relieve priapism in young patients with SCA. If hydration and analgesics failed to produce detumescence or if priapism had lasted >4 hours, the protocol was activated in the emergency room or clinic. Fifteen patients with homozygous SCA (Hb SS) were treated on 39 occasions; 10 patients were treated once, 1 patient twice, 2 patients 3 times, 1 patient 6 times, and 1 patient 15 times. Median age of patients at first treatment was 14.3 years (range, 3.9-18.3 years). The procedure was successful in producing immediate detumescence on 37 of 39 occasions (95% efficacy, 95% confidence intervals (CI): 81%-99%). No serious immediate or long-term side effects were observed. None of the patients who demonstrated detumescence required hospitalization. The 2 patients whose priapism persisted after aspiration and irrigation presented with episodes lasting >24 hours. All evaluable patients whose priapism resolved after aspiration and irrigation self-reported normal erectile function at a median of 40 months (range, 3-58 months) after the last procedure. Thus, aspiration of the corpora cavernosa followed by irrigation with dilute epinephrine is effective in producing immediate and sustained detumescence and should be the initial therapy employed for patients with SCA and prolonged priapism. (Blood, 2000; 95:78-82) (+info)Traumatic priapism: an unusual cycling injury. (2/83)
A case is reported of a 35 year old man who sustained an injury to the perineum in a cycling accident which resulted in a traumatic priapism. After confirmation of the diagnosis by Doppler sonography and angiography, therapeutic selective arterial embolisation was followed by successful detumescence of the penis and subsequent return of normal erectile function. It is suggested that percutaneous embolisation of the lacerated cavernosal artery is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment for this uncommon condition. (+info)Bilateral superselective arterial microcoil embolisation in delayed post-traumatic high flow priapism. (3/83)
High flow arteriogenic priapism is uncommon and usually occurs after trauma to the genitoperineal area. The onset of prolonged erection can be delayed and is often relatively pain free. Arteriography in this case illustrated the causative bilateral arteriocavernosal fistulae and pseudoaneurysms. Treatment consisted of staged bilateral superselective metallic microcoil embolisations, resulting in prompt detumescence. There were no complications. The patient had normal erectile function six months later. Recent concerns about erectile dysfunction with the bilateral use of permanent metallic coils appear to be unfounded. (+info)Intracavernosal adrenalin injection in priapism. (4/83)
Prolonged erection is a rare problem in urology but it must be treated effectively. The most common etiological factor is intracavernosal vasoactive agent injection for diagnosis or treatment of erectile dysfunction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of intracavernosal adrenalin injection alone in the treatment of priapism. Nineteen patients with prolonged erection were evaluated. Seventeen out of the 19 prolonged erections were due to intracavernosal vasoactive agent injection and the remaining two were idiopathic. In all cases 2 ml adrenalin (1/100 000) was injected in each cavernosal body. In the patients who did not respond to the first injection, repeated adrenalin injections were performed at 20 min intervals. Blood pressure and heart rate were monitored during the injections. Detumescence was achieved in ten (53%) patients after the first injection. Repeated adrenalin injections (2-5 injections) were required in nine patients and eight (42%) of them achieved detumescence. Only one (5%) patient who had 26-h prolonged erection could not achieve detumescence. There was no significant difference in blood pressure and heart rate during the monitoring of the patients when compared to the initial values. No standard treatment method has yet been described for prolonged erection. Repeated aspirations and irrigations for treatment of prolonged erection are problematical applications both for patients and urologist. Intracavernosal adrenalin injection alone can be used with high efficacy and safety for the treatment of prolonged erection especially in patients with a short duration of erection. (+info)Management of sickle cell priapism with etilefrine. (5/83)
Intracavernous injections of etilefrine were effective in seven children with acute sickle cell priapism, and stuttering priapism resolved in five children after one to seven months of oral etilefrine. Compared with our previous reports in adults, etilefrine appears to be more effective in childhood. (+info)Report of the American Foundation for Urologic Disease (AFUD) Thought Leader Panel for evaluation and treatment of priapism. (6/83)
PURPOSE: Patients with priapism often develop permanent erectile dysfunction and personal sexual distress. This report is intended to help educate the public by reviewing the varied definitions and classifications of priapism and limited literature reports of pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment outcomes of priapism. The AUA priapism guidelines committee is responsible for creating consensus as to appropriate individual patient management of priapism by physicians. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A multidisciplinary panel, consisting of 19 thought leaders in priapism, was convened by the Sexual Function Health Council of the American Foundation for Urologic Disease to address pertinent issues concerning the role of the urologist, primary care providers and other health care professionals in the education of the public regarding management of men with priapism. The panel utilized a modified Delphi method and built upon the peer review literature on priapism. RESULTS: The Thought Leader Panel recommended adoption of the definition of priapism as a pathological condition of a penile erection that persists beyond or is unrelated to sexual stimulation. Priapism is stressed to be an important medical condition that requires evaluation and may require emergency management. The classification system is categorized into ischemic and non-ischemic priapism. Essential elements of the ischemic classification are the inclusion of: (i) clinical characteristics of pain and rigidity; (ii) diagnostic characteristics of absence of cavernosal arterial blood flow; (iii) pathophysiological characteristics of a closed compartment syndrome; (iv) a time limit of 4 h prior to emergent medical care; and (v) a description of the potential consequences of delayed treatment. Essential elements of the non-ischemic classification are the inclusion of: (i) clinical characteristics of absence of pain and presence of partial rigidity; (ii) diagnostic and pathophysiological characteristics of unregulated cavernosal arterial inflow; and (iii) the need for evaluation but emphasizing the lack of a medical emergency. The panel recommended adoption of a rational management algorithm for the assessment and treatment of priapism where the cornerstone of initial assessment includes a careful clinical history, a focused physical examination and selected laboratory and/or radiologic tests. The panel recommended that specific criteria and clinical profiles requiring specialist referral should be identified. The panel further recommended that patient (and partner) needs and education concerning priapism should be addressed prior to therapeutic intervention, however only in the case of chronic management or post acute presentation evaluation should this delay intervention. Treatment goals to be discussed include management of the priapism with concomitant prevention of permanent and irreversible erectile dysfunction and associated psychosocial consequences. The panel recommended that when specific therapies for priapism are required, a step-care treatment approach based upon reversibility and invasiveness should be followed. CONCLUSIONS: The Thought Leader Panel calls for research to expand our understanding of the prevalence and diagnosis of priapism and education to create awareness among the public of the potential urgency of this condition. Critical areas to be addressed include the multiple pathophysiologies of priapism as well as multi-institutional trials to objectively assess safety and efficacy in the various treatment modalities. (+info)Epidural analgesia in a child with sickle cell disease complicated by acute abdominal pain and priapism. (7/83)
We describe a case of a 9-yr-old child with sickle cell disease complicated by abdominal vaso-occlusive crisis and priapism. Both complications were successfully treated with a combination of epidural local anesthetics and morphine. (+info)High flow priapism due to an arterial-lacunar fistula complicating initial veno-occlusive priapism. (8/83)
High flow or arterial priapism is rare, caused by unregulated arterial blood flow from a lacerated cavernous artery or branch entering directly into lacunar spaces, bypassing the protective, high resistance helicine arterioles and resulting in an arterial-lacunar fistula (ALF) and usually occurs following direct blunt or penetrating perineal trauma. Clinical features include delayed onset of a constant, painless, nontender erection of incomplete rigidity with potential for full rigidity with sexual stimulation. Colour duplex Doppler ultrasonography (CDU) is reliable in the diagnosis of arterial priapism. Treatment by arterial ligation, super-selective embolisation with autologous clot, gelatin sponge or microcoil, duplex guided compression, systemic or intracavernous administration of a variety of alpha-adrenergic agents or methylene blue, mechanical compression/ice packs or expectant management has been reported.
