Priapism

We report a case of a 58-year-old patient who was referred to our centre for priapism by his urologist. The introduction section summarizes the basic characteristics of this relatively rare acute condition. The case report demonstrates the basic diagnostic algorithm and treatment of ischaemic priapism, ranging from minimally invasive procedures including the administration of sympathomimetic agents, to performing distal glanulocavernous shunt according to Ebbehoj, to a definitive management in the form of proximal bulbocavernous anastomosis according to Quackels.

Keywords: priapism, ischaemic priapism, spongiocavernous shunt, bulbocavernous anastomosis.
