Akshay Ravat, Ibrahim Kothawala

Abstract :

Introduction: Priapism is a full or partial erection that continues more than 4 hours beyond sexual stimulation and orgasm or is unrelated to sexual stimulation. Here, we report a case of priapism associated with spontaneous corpus cavernosal pus, to the best of our knowledge this clinical course has not been described in an otherwise healthy patient. Case presentation: A 55–year–old Indian gentleman visited our hospital with the chief complaints of penile edema with ultrasound suggestive of penile swelling. The diagnostic investigations reported penile abscesses without a definite underlying etiology. The patient was treated successfully with surgical drainage and antibiotic treatment with normal erectile function. Conclusion: Priapism with pus is a rare presentation and there is no routine standardized procedure for dealing with this medical condition. Patients having priapism with a pus should be warned.
