Objectives To evaluate the use of dual‐phase contrast‐enhanced computed tomography for the depiction of the features of the male genital tract, highlighting differences between entire and neutered dogs. Methods Computed tomography exams of 23 entire and 23 neutered male dogs with no history of urogenital disease were included in this retrospective study, with exams acquired pre‐, 30 and 98·9 ±27·4 seconds after intravenous contrast administration. The genital structures were subjectively evaluated for visibility, contrast enhancement and enhancement pattern and differences between entire and neutered dogs were described. Objective measurements of attenuation and size of the prostatic tissue were acquired. Results The root, body and glans of the penis could be evaluated in all dogs and appeared larger in entire dogs, though objective measurements could not be reliably made because these structures are small and curved. There was contrast enhancement of the cavernous structures, most reliably in the bulb and corpus spongiosum and most frequently in entire dogs in the delayed post‐contrast phase. In entire dogs, the small testicular vessels most commonly had a vermiform shape in the early post‐contrast phase, and a homogeneous appearance in the delayed phase. Sternal recumbency with the coxofemoral joints extended improved visibility of the genital structures. Clinical Significance Dual‐phase contrast‐enhanced computed tomography is useful for depiction of the structures of the male genital tract, with the early phase especially highlighting the vascular and the delayed phase the cavernous structures.

RESUMO.O priapismo é definido como uma ereção persistente do pênis, frequentemente dolorosa que aspira mais do que quatro horas, na ausência de estímulo ou desejo sexual. É uma patologia pouco frequente em cães com baixo número de casos descritos na literatura veterinária. A penectomia seguida uretrostomia é recomendada como um dos tratamentos em muitos casos, por exemplo, em neoplasias difusas e lesões pós-traumáticas. O objetivo desse trabalho é relatar um caso de trauma e necrose peniana secundária a priapismo em um cão paraplégico tratado com penectomia seguido de uretrostomia escrotal. A penectomia com uretrostomia provou ser uma boa alternativa para evitar as repercussões de priapismo em cães. Palavras-chave: Cão, priapismo, uretrostomia escrotalPriapism in dog treated with penectomy followed of urethrostomy: Case report ABSTRACT. Priapism is defined as a persistent erection of the penis, frequently painful that longs more than 4 hours, in absence of stimulus or sexual desire. It is an infrequent pathology in dogs with low number of cases described in the veterinary literature. The penectomywithurethrostomy is recommended as a treatment in many cases, for example in diffuse neoplasms and post-traumatic injuries. The objective of this study was to report a case of trauma and secondary penile necrosis to priapism in a paraplegic dog treated with penectomy followed by urethrostomy scrotal. The penectomy with urethrostomy proved to be a good alternative to avoid the repercussions of priapism in dogs.Keywords: Dog, priapism; scrotal urethrostomy Priapismo en perro tratado con penectomía seguida de uretrostomía: Reporte de un caso RESUMEN.

“…Due to penis erection, it can no longer be maintained within the preputial sheath and secondary paraphimosis is a frequent complication (Rochat ). Frequently, 4 h are the referred threshold period for priapism (Lavely ; Cassutto ), possibly by extrapolation from human medicine. However, no studies exist in veterinary medicine about the chronological staging of penile lesions associated with priapism foreseeing the possible recovery of penile function.…”

“…The pathophysiological mechanism of priapism remains poorly understood for animals and men, possibly because the aetiology remains elusive in most cases. In the literature, causes for priapism include drug administration, spinal cord and nerve injuries (Riggs ; Lavely ; Burrow et al. ), viral diseases (Guilford et al.…”

Priapism, a persistent long-lasting involuntary erection of the penis, is uncommon in dogs. In this report, the case of a 13-year-old male Pointer, referred to our services due to persistent exposition of the penis, is described. This condition was consecutive to an intermittent priapism situation lasting for several days, which has been initially attributed to the inflammation and haematoma associated with a perianal bite. The owners became unable to retract the penis into the prepuce. At presentation, the dog was anorectic for 48 h, intolerant to manipulation, and showed poor body condition and unsteady locomotion. During physical evaluation, a marked engorgement of the local vessels in the prepuce and penis was found. An abdominal X-ray was asked under the suspicion of a neurogenic origin for the clinical situation, which showed evidences of spondylosis. After discussion of the clinical condition, the owners asked for euthanasia. The necropsy confirmed the engorgement of the regional vessels deriving from the pudendal arteries and blood accumulation within all the cavernous spaces, accompanied by congestion and thrombosis within the erectile structures of the penis. No significant changes were observed in the pelvic organs that could be at the origin of priapism. The lumbar-sacral spinal regions were carefully inspected and evidenced signs of L7-S1 stenosis due to spondylosis. The case presented herein is a rare situation of priapism of neurogenic origin in a dog. Necropsy findings suggest that it was consecutive to cauda equina compression due to lumbar spinal stenosis.
