ABSTRACT
Priapism is a prolonged erection of the corpus cavernosum that is unaccompanied by sexual desire. It has been classified into 2 main groups: primary (idiopathic) or secondary. The common conditions associated with a secondary priapism include sickle cell anemia, trauma, leukemia, a cancerous invasion of the penis, drugs, alcohol ingestion, various venous thromboembolic diseases, intravenous fat for parenteral nutrition, and other less common disorders.1 A splenectomy has not been previously identified as a predisposing factor except for a report of 3 cases of priapism who underwent a splenectomy.2 We experienced a case of recurrent priapism following a splenectomy that developed in 30 years old man.
