ABSTRACT
Priapism is a rare disease, but needs early intervention and appropriate management. We present 2 cases of ischemic low-flow priapism after intracavernosal injection of vasoactive drug. 43-year-old man and 61-year-old man visited our clinic complaining of continuous plan and erection persisting for several days after self cavernosal injection for increasing their erectile function. We performed blood gas analysis of cavernosal blood and color doppler ultrasound. And so we confirmed the diagnosis of low-flow priapism. Detumescence was finally achieved after the proximal shunt operation. Their erectile function was not recovered and they became permanent impotence.
