Introduction Recurrent ischemic priapism likely has a neurogenic basis for some clinical presentations. Aim To describe a phenomenon of resolved recurrent ischemic priapism in a patient following celiac plexus block for recurrent upper abdominal pain. Methods The case report profiled a 44-year-old Caucasian man who developed recurrent ischemic priapism after retroperitoneal surgery. He had failed multiple conventional interventions for his priapism. After he underwent a celiac plexus block for recurrent upper abdominal pain, his recurrent priapism episodes immediately stopped. Main Outcome Measures Clinical history regarding priapism occurrences. Results The patient obtained a resolution of his priapism after celiac plexus block, without recurrences at a 6-month follow-up assessment. Conclusions Celiac plexus block successfully led to resolution of recurrent ischemic priapism of probable neurogenic origin associated with spinal nerve outflow injury.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
