Abstract:
Recurrent episodes of venoocclusive priapism have been described previously in patients who have had repeated exposure to a recognized stimulus such as intracavernosal injections of vasoactive agents, or pathologic conditions such as spinal stenosis or hematological disorders. Three patients were referred for evaluation of an unusual sequoia of an initial episode of idiopathic venoocclusive priapism, occurred with a frequency ranging from several times per month to once per year and were symptomatically disabling. We reviewed the characteristics and the possible pathophysiology of this syndrome and some therapeutic options in the management of these patients.
