Idiopathic recurrent ischemic priapism: a review of current literature and an algorithmic approach to evaluation and management.

Background: Stuttering priapism is characterized by recurrent, self-limited episodes of penile erection lasting from a few minutes to a maximum of three hours, often resolving spontaneously. These episodes can occur with or without sexual stimulation. If not treated promptly and effectively, stuttering priapism can severely impact a patient's quality of life, leading to significant psychological distress and anxiety related to sexual performance.

The "Cut-to-the-Light" Technique Laser Endoureterotomy for Complete Ureteral Obstruction Resurfaces! A New Application of an Old Technique.

Objective: To describe our new endoscopic approach in treating iatrogenic ureteral stenosis using the "cut-to-The-light" technique.

Methods: Case of a 54 year-old female patient who underwent a right percutaneous nephrolithotomy to treat a staghorn calculus with two subsequent complimentary ureteroscopies complicated by a severe proximal ureteral obstruction. An antegrade flexible uretereroscope and a retrograde rigid ureteroscope were used to locate the stenosis.

Rare paraneoplastic syndrome of prostatic cancer: limbic encephalitis: a case report.

The nonspecificity of symptoms makes the diagnosis sometimes difficult to establish. Prognosis is essentially determined by comorbidities and sensorineural and cognitive sequelae.
