Priapism, a prolonged erection, can be a side effect of psychotropic drugs. This case highlights risperidone-induced priapism, a condition not previously reported in urologic literature, requiring surgical intervention.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Psychopharmacology
  • Medical Case Reports

Background:

  • Priapism is a recognized adverse effect associated with various psychotropic medications.
  • The urologic literature lacks documented instances of priapism specifically linked to risperidone use.

Observation:

  • A case study detailing a patient experiencing priapism.
  • The patient's condition necessitated surgical intervention for resolution.

Findings:

  • This report documents the first known case of risperidone-induced priapism in the urologic medical literature.
  • The clinical presentation required surgical management, underscoring the severity of this potential side effect.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should consider risperidone as a potential cause of priapism in patients presenting with this condition.
