Priapism has been classified as primary (idiopathic)and secondary according to etiology. Hemodynamically, it can be separated into two distinct types: low-flow (ischemic) and high flow (non-ischemic). In the latter type, the most common cause is blunt genital trauma, and selective cavernosal artery embolization has been the most effective therapeutic method. Two cases of high-flow arterial priapism are presented. Both cases were post-traumatic and were managed with selective cavernosal artery embolization, with excellent return of premorbid levels of erectile function.

Priapism is an uncommon condition of prolonged painful penile erection, and no sexual excitement or desire is present. The therapeutic goal in priapism is to restore normal circulation and blood flow in the erectile tissue of corporacavernosa. In recent years medical treatment is unsuccessful and it should be treated as a surgical emergency. Here we report one case of priapism with review of related recent references.

Updates on the use of vardenafil (Levitra) in the treatment of erection disorders including: specific inhibition with PDE5, treatment efficacy, pharmacokinetics, tolerance level, interaction, contraindication, cautions especially for people with cardiovascular diseases or penis surgery deformation, dosage and use. Except for above contraindication and cautions, vardenafil can be considered as first choice for men with erection disorders in accordance with PDE5 inhibition treatment

This study was conducted on 63 male patients who already got married and had signs of erection disorder, they came to be examined and treated at surgical outpatient department of Central traditional hospital and at nephrology department of Viet Duc hospital from August 2002 to July 2004. Among 63 patients had their testosterone tests done before treatment, there were 14/63 patients whose testosterone value was under physical level (<9.7nmol/l), 49/63 other patients had normal testosterone value (9.8-35nmol/l). According to traditional medicine, "Huu quy hoan" has effect on fortifying the kidney, strengthening the virility, increasing the growth and development progress of the body. "Huu quy hoan" had effect on treating erection disorder and the results were: 52.4% of patients recovered completely from erection disorder, 0% patients had medium erection disorder, 36.5% patients had light erection disorder, 11.1% patients did not respond to treatment. Overall result: good 60.3%, medium 28.5% and no respond 11.2%.

Priapism is a pathologic state of persistent penile erection in the absence of sexual stimulation. Low flow priapism is more common, which is caused by a venous outflow obstruction. However, high flow priapism is rare, and is caused by uncontrolled arterial flow into penis following perineal or penile blunt injuries. We report a case of high flow priapism secondary to the treatment of low flow priapism.

Penile erection is either sexual stimulating erection or nocturnal erection. The difference of precise mechanism between the two types is not clarified yet. In order to evaluate nocturnal erection, we used the Rigiscan which could simultaneously record nocturnal penile tumescence and rigidity. And sexual stimulating erection was evaluated by Audiovisual Stimulating Penogram which was introduced by Choi and Kim in 1987. The following results were obtained. The compatibility ratio of 16 normal sexual stimulating erection to nocturnal erection test was 56%, while that of 35 cases of abnormal sexual stimulating erection was 51% . The compatibility ratios of the group IIA and group IIC were 80% and 78%, respectively, revealing high percentage of concordance between the two types of erection. On the other hand, the compatibility ratio of group IIB was low(33%). From the results presented here, it can be concluded that the AVS-Penogram is useful for the screening test and to obtain more useful information, evaluation of the nocturnal erection using Rigiscan is necessary.

Priapism is defined as having prolonged (more than 6 h), and usually painful penile erection that occurs without a sexual desire or arousal. Only a very few priapism cases caused by ziprasidone are reported in the literature. In this case report we aimed to present a prolonged penile erection due to use of ziprasidone.
