title: Priapism as a manifestation of tetania.
abstract: In a 40-year old male admitted because of anginal chest pain, priapism developed after coronary angiography. Chest pain and priapism most probably were due to severe hypocalcaemia 6 weeks after thyroidectomy. Both chest pain and priapism disappeared after substitution of calcium.
