Area of Science:

  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Pediatric Urology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Priapism, a prolonged penile erection, is a rare condition in newborn infants.
  • Management options for neonatal priapism are limited and often invasive.

Observation:

  • A case of a newborn infant presenting with priapism is described.
  • Intravenous administration of ketamine hydrochloride was utilized for treatment.

Findings:

  • Ketamine hydrochloride injection resulted in rapid detumescence (resolution of the erection).
  • The literature on neonatal priapism and its management was reviewed.

Implications:

  • Ketamine hydrochloride injection is proposed as a viable alternative treatment for priapism in newborns.
  • This approach may offer a less invasive option for managing this rare condition.
