[Intracavernosal methoxamine self-injection for the treatment of low-flow recurrent priapism]. / Tratamiento del priapismo recurrente de bajo flujo mediante autoinyección intracavernosa domiciliaria de metoxamina.

We report the case of a young man with a recurrent idiopathic priapism, successfully treated with methoxamine intracarvenosal self-injections. The patient was instructed in intracorporeal self-injection of this pure alpha-1 adrenergic agonist, which provided complete detumescence. The patient became asymptomatic after one month of domiciliary treatment. We conclude that intracavernosal self-administered methoxamine can be a useful treatment of recurrent idiopathic priapism.
