Priapism Associated with Multiple Psychotropics: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Priapism is classified in two types, including high-flow or “non-ischemic” priapism in which well-oxygenated blood accumulates in the penis and low-flow, or “ischemic” priapism in which venous blood persists in the corpora cavernosa.2 The latter category is the one associated with antipsychotics and is considered a urologic emergency with potentially serious long-term complications such as impotence that can develop in 40% to 50% of the patients, regardless of treatment.3
