CASE REPORTS 255decline in erectile ability experienced by the patient over the period of time since the embolization procedure. Venous leakage is due to a failure of relaxation of corporeal smooth muscle. Excision or embolization of leaking veins does not heal the underlying cause and as a result further leakage is likely to occur. This is, to our knowledge, the first description of a corpora spongiosal shunt following penile venous ablation and represents a possible reason for progressive failure of this method. This also stresses the importance of examining the glans of the penis as a potential shunt site on follow-up caversonography. References1 Williams G, Mulcahy hlJ, Hartnell G et al.
