  • Abstract
    Priapism is a urological emergency. The treatment for ischaemic priapism is usually cavernosal aspiration with or without cavernosal irrigation. Some patients may need surgical intervention -the various shunt procedures. We report a 21-year-old man with priapism secondary to chronic myeloid leukemia who needed a combined medical and surgical management. He underwent a spongio-cavernosal shunt as well as cytoreductive chemotherapy to achieve complete detumescence. Therefore, cytoreductive chemotherapy is an adjunct in difficult to treat priapism associated with chronic myeloid leukemia.
