Priapism is an uncommon condition of prolonged painful penile erection, and no sexual excitement or desire is present. The therapeutic goal in priapism is to restore normal circulation and blood flow in the erectile tissue of corporacavernosa. In recent years medical treatment is unsuccessful and it should be treated as a surgical emergency. Here we report one case of priapism with review of related recent references.
