Priapism of the Newborn - A Case Report

S S Siddiqua et al. Mymensingh Med J. 2015 Jul.

Abstract

Neonatal Priapism is a rare condition and its causes differ from that in childhood and adult. Management also is challenging as the ultimate goal is the preservation of normal erectile function. Most of the cases are idiopathic. A spontaneous detumescence occurs in majority of cases, so initially conservative non-surgical treatment is advocated. Here we report a case of a newborn presenting with priapism on the 1st day of life. Detumescence was achieved on the 8th day of life with conservative treatment.
