Priapism is well documented as a potential side effect of psychotropic medications. To date, there have been no reports of risperidone-induced priapism in the urologic literature. We report a case of risperidone-induced priapism requiring surgical treatment.
High-flow priapism is a rare entity, which is typically diagnosed with the help of either color flow Doppler ultrasound or arteriogram. In the case presented, both of these diagnostic modalities were unsuccessful in uncovering a vascular lesion. The patient underwent an empiric selective embolization of the left pudendal artery followed by a repeat angiogram of the right because of persistent tumescence. This procedure uncovered a previously unseen arteriolacunar fistula, which was treated successfully with a second selective embolization.
Blunt trauma to the penis is an uncommon injury in young children. We present two cases of blunt penile trauma secondary to mechanical compression from a toilet seat.
A 21-year-old man with Behçet's syndrome presented with both a left ventricular aneurysm and a left renal artery pseudoaneurysm. After successful embolization of the ruptured pseudoaneurysm, the patient underwent successful repair of the left ventricular aneurysm. Although multiple aneurysms have been reported previously, we believe this to be the first reported case of both a ventricular aneurysm and a renal artery pseudoaneurysm afflicting a patient with Behçet's syndrome.
