Idiopathic priapism is uncommon in pediatric patients. This study presents two cases, discusses priapism in children, and offers a diagnostic and management algorithm.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Urology
  • Adolescent Medicine
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Priapism, a prolonged erection, is a rare urological emergency in children.
  • Idiopathic priapism, with no identifiable underlying cause, is even less common.
  • Prompt diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent penile damage.

Observation:

  • Two pediatric cases of idiopathic priapism were observed.
  • Detailed clinical information and diagnostic approaches for these cases were reviewed.
  • The presentation highlights the rarity and diagnostic challenges of this condition in children.

Findings:

  • The study emphasizes the infrequent occurrence of idiopathic priapism in the pediatric population.
  • A comprehensive review of priapism, with a specific focus on idiopathic cases, is provided.

  • An effective algorithm for the diagnosis and management of pediatric priapism is proposed.

    • Implications:

    • The presented algorithm can guide clinicians in the timely and appropriate care of children with priapism.
    • Increased awareness of idiopathic priapism in children may improve diagnostic accuracy.
    • Effective management strategies are essential to preserve penile function and prevent long-term complications.
