    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Intracorporeal papaverine injection is a recognized treatment for erectile dysfunction (impotence).
    • This therapy is generally associated with low morbidity rates.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of priapism were observed following papaverine injection therapy.
    • Priapism is a condition involving prolonged penile erection.

    Findings:

    • Papaverine-induced priapism necessitated surgical intervention in both reported cases.
    • This highlights a potential serious complication of papaverine therapy.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should be aware of the risk of priapism with papaverine injections.
    • Further research may be needed to optimize papaverine therapy protocols and minimize adverse events like priapism.
