Priapism in children is rare, often linked to sickle cell disease where conservative treatment may suffice. However, aggressive therapy is crucial if initial measures fail, regardless of the cause.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Urology
  • Hematology
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Priapism, a prolonged erection, is uncommon in pediatric patients.
  • Sickle cell disease is the most frequent association in childhood priapism.
  • Management strategies vary based on etiology and duration.

Observation:

  • This study reviews 4 pediatric priapism cases with diverse underlying causes.
  • Literature review complements clinical experience.
  • Conservative management was assessed for efficacy.

Findings:

  • While conservative approaches are suitable for some cases, particularly in sickle cell disease, they are not universally effective.
  • Failure of conservative measures necessitates prompt escalation of treatment.
