A patient developed priapism following a single intramuscular injection of chlorpromazine for hiccups. Conservative management was unsuccessful. During surgical intervention on the 15th hospital day, the corpora cavernosa of the turgid penis was irrigated and aspirated with heparinized saline using No14 gauge needles. The patient did well postoperatively. The physiology of the erection and the pathophysiology of priapism are discussed.

The endocannabinoid system's genetic polymorphisms in sickle cell anemia patients.

Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is a monogenic blood disease with complex and multifactorial pathophysiology. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) could be a candidate for modulating SCA complications, such as priapism, as it has demonstrated an essential role in hematopoiesis, platelet aggregation, and immune responses. We evaluated the association of ECS-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) (FAAH rs324420, MAGL rs604300, CNR1 rs7766029, and CNR2 rs35761398) with priapism in a Brazilian SCA cohort.

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.

Ischaemic priapism is a urological emergency characterised by a prolonged, painful erection unrelated to sexual stimulation. While several aetiological factors contribute to this condition, the pharmacological causes have gained significant attention in recent years. This narrative review aims to comprehensively assess ischaemic priapism, specifically focusing on its pharmacological aetiology.
