Priapism.
The evaluation of priapism is unfamiliar to many emergency physicians. Rapid assessment and treatment are essential in the hope of preserving sexual function. A thorough history and physical examination reveal an underlying vascular or neurologic etiology in most cases. Treatment generally consists of adequate oxygenation, hydration, and analgesia, with early urologic consultation.
