ABSTRACT
<p><b>INTRODUCTION</b>Neonatal priapism is known to be associated with a wide range of aetiologies, but an association with spontaneous purulent cavernositis has not been reported in the paediatric literature. We report the first of such case.</p><p><b>CLINICAL PICTURE</b>A 24-day-old neonate was brought with the history of persistent erection of penis since day 4 of life and swollen penis of 4 days' duration, which revealed frank pus on cavernosal aspiration bilaterally.</p><p><b>TREATMENT</b>The child was treated with closed aspiration drainage; cross-irrigation with antibiotic solution under systemic antibiotic cover helped in achieving complete detumescence.</p><p><b>OUTCOME</b>On follow-up, child demonstrated normal full bladder tumescence and colour doppler revealed bilateral normal corporo-cavernosal appearance and blood flow, indicating good functional and anatomical recovery.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>This case report describes the presentation, successful management and excellent functional and anatomical outcome, on follow-up, of this rare association of neonatal priapism with spontaneous bilateral pyocavernositis. An attempt has been made to describe the underlying pathophysiology.</p>
