Partial priapism.
We report the third documented case of partial priapism. The proximal right corpus was distended and separated from the distral flaccid corpus by a transverse membrane. Histologic examination revealed the obstructing lesion to be owing to thrombosis of vascular erectile tissue probably secondary to trauma. Excision of this membrane promptly cured the condition.
