    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Andrology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Partial priapism is a rare condition characterized by prolonged, localized penile erection.
    • Understanding the underlying causes and effective treatments is crucial for patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To document the third case of partial priapism.
    • To describe the clinical presentation, histological findings, and successful surgical management.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical case presentation and surgical intervention.
    • Histopathological examination of the obstructing lesion.

    Main Results:

    • A transverse membrane was identified, causing obstruction in the proximal corpus.
  • Histology revealed thrombosis of vascular erectile tissue as the likely cause, possibly trauma-related.
  • Excision of the membrane resulted in immediate resolution of the condition.

    • Conclusions:

    • Partial priapism can be caused by a discrete obstructing lesion, such as a transverse membrane.
    • Surgical excision of the obstructing membrane is an effective treatment for this specific presentation of partial priapism.
