Abstract:
A case of partial priapism is reported diagnosed by contrast-enhanced MR imaging and color-coded duplex sonography. Follow-up examinations after 4 weeks and 3 months were performed. According to the results of color-coded duplex sonography and MRI, a partial priapism with development from the subacute stage to a fibrous residuum after spontaneous lysis was diagnosed. There are only very few cases of partial priapism reported in the literature and this is the first case report that demonstrates diagnosis and follow-up both by color-coded duplex sonography and contrast-enhanced MR imaging.
