A case report on idiopathic recurrent priapism.
Idiopathic recurrent priapism is a difficult problem to treat and a potentially devastating condition that may result in irreversible penile fibrosis. We present the case of a patient who, during a period of 10 years, had recurrent episodes of idiopathic priapism and we show that therapeutic options do exist for the management.
