RESUMEN

ABSTRACT Purpose Non-palpable isolated septal plaques of the penis are likely present in a significant number of patients affected by erectile dysfunction (ED) and penile pain without deformity or curvature. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ultrasound (US) patterns observed in patients investigated for ED or penile pain without curvature. Materials and Methods We reviewed the medical records of 386 patients who underwent an initial colour-Doppler ultrasonography (CDU) of the penis for DE and/or penile pain without curvature. After satisfying inclusion criteria, 41 patients were individualized. All patients had a non-palpable plaque with involvement of the penile septum. Three US patterns were identified: focal hyperecoic thickening of the intercavernosum septum (IS) with acoustic shadow (pattern 1), non-calcified thickening (isoechoic or slightly hyperechoic (pattern 2), and microcalcifications in the IS without associated acoustic shadow (pattern 3). Results Patients' mean age was 51.3±16.7. ED was the predominant disorder in 73.2% of patients, followed by penile pain and length loss in 19.5% and 7.3% of patients, respectively. 32(78.1%) patients showed the pattern 1, 6 (14.6%) pattern 2, and 3 (7.3%) pattern 3. Plaques size varied from 3 to 13 mm. The penile hemodynamic response to CDU reported abnormal findings distally to the septal plaques in 20 patients (<25cm/sec). Median left and right cavernosum artery flows measured a peak systolic velocity of 31cm/sec and 33 cm/sec, respectively. Conclusions We believe that an US study with CDU provides a way to characterize, localize, and deliver treatment choice in patients with Peyronie's Disease.
