AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
A patient who presented with priapism after ingestion of alfuzosin is described. He presented with recurrent priapism, which was relieved temporarily after physical exercise. It did not subside with pharmacologic management and was managed surgically using Winter's procedure. It remained quiescent for a short period, only to reappear later. After additional conservative management, he was well enough to be discharged. At 12 months of follow-up, he was well, had no penile fibrosis, was able to have unaided intercourse, and had moderately bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms. This case illustrates that no therapeutic drug is without side effects and emphasizes the need to warn patients appropriately.

Priapism is rarely related to use of non-erectile related medications. The objective was to educate about the multiple possible causes of priapism and to provide treatment recommendations for the different types of priapism. We present the case of a 43-year-old African American male with a history of schizoaffective disorder who presented to our emergency department multiple times over a three year period with priapism, each episode related to the ingestion of quetiapine.

With only 34 prior cases in world literature, partial priapism (PP), also called partial segmental thrombosis of the corpus cavernosum, is a rare urological condition. The aetiology and treatment of PP is still unclear, but bicycle riding, trauma, drug usage, sexual intercourse, haematological diseases and α-blockers have been associated with PP. In this case report and world literature review, we describe the case of a 50-year-old man suffering from PP after ingesting 100 mg of sildenafil.
