Refractory priapism of unknown etiology in a pediatric patient.

Priapism is a urologic emergency that can occur in any age group and every patient should receive prompt urologic consultation. Management of priapism is based on the recognition of underlying pathophysiology; ready differentiation between high-flow and low-flow priapism; reversal of any potential precipitating factors; the use of corporal aspiration irrigation combined with intracavernosal alpha adrenergic therapy; and when necessary, a shunting procedure. Delay in recognition or treatment can be crucial as the incidence of long-term complication rises substantially with the duration of the priapism.

Pediatric trauma.

Trauma is the leading cause of death in infants and children. Caring for the pediatric trauma victim requires a systematic approach which utilizes an understanding of the anatomic and pathophysiologic characteristics that make children different from adults. Child abuse frequently presents as trauma, making a high index of suspicion for mechanism and severity of injury an important component of trauma assessment. A basic approach to managing pediatric trauma with emphasis on initial stabilization is presented, followed by discussion of specific areas including head and neck trauma, chest trauma, abdominal trauma, and extremity trauma.
