Abstract:
A 36-year-old African American man presented to the emergency department with 2 days of left-sided perineal pain after sexual activity. He was found to have induration in the left perineum overlying the proximal left corporal body. Clinical picture was suspicious for traumatic corporal rupture; however, advanced imaging showed a proximal segmental thrombosis of the left corpus cavernosum. The patient underwent perineal exploration with evacuation of an intracorporal penile hematoma. In spite of disrupting a fibrous membrane in the proximal corpora and drainage of the corpora, we observed repeat tumescence during the procedure because of an observed arterial high-flow state in the corpora cavernosum. This was resolved with administration of phenylephrine into the cavernosum. The patient had return of normal erectile function 2 days after the procedure with resolution of pain at the site.
