“…Priapism affects 35% of boys and men [588]. Sexual intercourse [591], masturbation [592], alcohol intake [593], infection of the prostate or bladder, recent trauma, and medications with autonomic side effects are reported precipitating factors [594]. In the Jamaican study 16% of patients reported attacks following intercourse [595, 596].…”

The sickle hemoglobin is an abnormal hemoglobin due to point mutation (GAG → GTG) in exon 1 of the β globin gene resulting in the substitution of glutamic acid by valine at position 6 of the β globin polypeptide chain. Although the molecular lesion is a single-point mutation, the sickle gene is pleiotropic in nature causing multiple phenotypic expressions that constitute the various complications of sickle cell disease in general and sickle cell anemia in particular. The disease itself is chronic in nature but many of its complications are acute such as the recurrent acute painful crises (its hallmark), acute chest syndrome, and priapism. These complications vary considerably among patients, in the same patient with time, among countries and with age and sex. To date, there is no well-established consensus among providers on the management of the complications of sickle cell disease due in part to lack of evidence and in part to differences in the experience of providers. It is the aim of this paper to review available current approaches to manage the major complications of sickle cell disease. We hope that this will establish another preliminary forum among providers that may eventually lead the way to better outcomes.

“…Sickle cell trait is typically a benign condition, which is spared of the major complications of a homozygous SCD, and is generally not believed to be associated with priapism. However, there have been case reports and small series describing this association in the literature from the 1960s and 1970s [5–9] to more recent ones [10,11].…”

“…If these conservative methods fail, other possible measures include aspiration of the corpora cavernosa through a wide-bore needle; venous by-pass between the corpus and the distal end of the divided saphenous vein (Grayhack, McCullough,O'Connor, and Trippel, 1964); caverno-spongiosum anastomosis (Quackels, 1964); aspiration of the corpora cavernosa under controlled hypotension with intravenous trimethaphen camphorsulphonate (Krauss and Fitzpatrick, 1961) or any other ganglion-blocking agent. Farrer and Goodwin (1961) said that the most promising approach was to irrigate the corpora cavernosa with anticoagulant solution after evacuation.…”
