[Partial thrombosis of the corpus cavernosum: A new case with good outcomes under non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs].

Partial priapism is a rare pathology with less than 60 cases published in the literature; the etiology remains unknown, although certain favorable factors are identified as having in relation a prolonged perineal compression or a thrombopathy. The symptomatology is characterized by the appearance of pain, perineal edema and an induration of the root of the penis, which do not concern the distal part of the penis or the glans. MRI is the best complementary examination. The first-line surgical treatment is abandoned. Medical treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or low molecular weight heparins combined with platelet aggregation inhibitors give good results with complete resolution of symptoms in 82% of cases; first-line medical treatment should be favored. We report a case of idiopathic partial priapism, successfully treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory without recurrence after 10 years.
