AI Article Synopsis
- A 17-year-old boy experienced spontaneous arterial priapism after having severe dengue, a condition previously not documented in literature.
- The priapism was linked to vascular leaks caused by the dengue virus, indicating it could be a rare trigger for this condition.
- The patient was treated successfully with conservative methods, and his normal erectile function returned, suggesting the need for further research into these mechanisms and their clinical significance.
Article Abstract
Arterial priapism, rare and often traumatic, is generally associated with cavernous arterial lesions. We report an unprecedented case in a 17-year-old adolescent, occurring spontaneously after severe dengue, expanding the understanding of this pathology. No similar association has been previously documented in the literature. The patient was successfully treated with conservative measures, and erections returned to normal. Dengue, by causing vascular leaks, could be a rare trigger for arterial priapism. Further studies are needed to elucidate these mechanisms and potential clinical implications.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze pre- and intraoperative factors influencing the integrity of corporal bodies after placing an inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP), focusing on the occurrence of intraoperative and postoperative complications.
- Researchers reviewed a database of over 5,400 IPP surgeries conducted between 2016 and 2021, identifying significant predictors for complications linked to corporal integrity.
- Key predictors for complications included revision surgery, older age, and medical conditions like coronary artery disease or peripheral vascular disease, indicating the need for consideration of these factors during IPP placement to reduce risks.
Article Synopsis
- The article reviews existing literature on the causes, progression, outcome, and ways to differentiate arterial (non-ischemic) priapism from other conditions.
- It thoroughly discusses the indications for and methods of surgical treatment for this type of priapism.
- The authors also include findings from their own observations to complement the published data.

BACKGROUND Priapism is a persistent penile erection that lasts longer than 4 hours. The most common causes of priapism are ischemia and the effects of drugs, including PDE-5 inhibitors, such as sildenafil and anticoagulants. Here, we describe the presentation and management of a 50-year-old man with priapism following coronary artery angiography for the investigation of ischemic heart disease (IHD).

Introduction: The most common form of priapism is ischaemic and its prevalence in men has increased in recent years as a result of intracavernosal drug use. Currently, there is no approved specific treatment for ischaemic priapism other than cavernosal aspiration, which can only provide detumescence. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of intracavernosal mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy in an ischaemic priapism model.

Priapism is a medical condition characterized by a prolonged period of penile rigidity in the absence of external sexual stimulation. Three broad categories exist for this condition: ischemic (low venous flow), nonischemic (high arterial flow), and recurrent (stuttering). Ischemic priapism is a urological emergency necessitating immediate medical attention.
