Priapism is a pathological condition of a penile erection that persists beyond or is unrelated to sexual stimulation. Priapism is broadly classified into two types: (i) ischaemic priapism (veno-occlusive) (low-flow), (ii) nonischaemic priapism (arterial) (high-flow). We report the case of a newborn presenting with priapism on the first day of life and also review published data on the management and follow-up of this condition.

However, intravenous ketamine admission in one case (3), phlebeotomy in one case and exchange transfusion in one case (4) have been reported. Intravenous ketamine admission and exchange transfusion resulted in immediate detumescence where it occurred four days after phlebotomy.…”
