Priapism is defined as a persistent erection of the penis not accompanied by sexual desire or stimulation, usually lasting more than 6 h and typically involving only the corpora cavernosa and resulting in dorsal penile erection with the ventral penis and glans being flaccid (Keoghane et al. 2002). Rare exceptions with involvement of the corpus spongiosum and sparing of the cavernosal spaces have been reported (Tarry et al. 1987). This condition has many different causes and in some cases can be a urological emergency. The recently published American Urological Association Guideline on the management of priapism sheds further light on the management of this potentially emergent condition, but the guideline does not establish a fixed set of rules or define the legal standard of care for the treatment of priapism (Montague et al. 2003).
