RODRIGUEZ TOLRA, J.; CUADRADO CAMPANA, J.Mª; FUMADO CIUTAT, L.l.  and  FRANCO MIRANDA, E.. Intracavernosal methoxamine self-injection for the treatment of low-flow recurrent priapism. Actas Urol Esp [online]. 2006, vol.30, n.3, pp.324-325. ISSN 0210-4806.

We report the case of a young man with a recurrent idiopathic priapism, successfully treated with methoxamine intracarvenosal self-injections. The patient was instructed in intracorporeal self-injection of this pure alpha-1 adrenergic agonist, which provided complete detumescence. The patient became asymptomatic after one month of domiciliary treatment. We conclude that intracavernosal self-administered methoxamine can be a useful treatment of recurrent idiopathic priapism.

Keywords : Recurrent idiopathic priapism; Self-injection; Methoxamine.
