title: Sildenafil citrate-associated priapism.
abstract: We report the first case of priapism associated with the use of sildenafil citrate. The patient was a 28-year-old man with mild erectile dysfunction after penile trauma who self-treated with a 100-mg dose of sildenafil citrate, resulting in low-flow priapism. After aspiration and intracorporal injection of alpha-agonists, the priapism resolved. The patient's erectile function returned to his prepriapism baseline.
