Resumen
Priapismo

El priapismo ha sido definido por la AFUD como “la condición patológica caracterizada por una erección peneana que persiste más allá o no está relacionada con la estimulación sexual”. La fisiopatología del priapismo ha sido una gran desconocida hasta que se comienzan a hacer estudios clínicos en pacientes en su mayoría afectos de disfunción eréctil, en cuyo diagnóstico o tratamiento se veían involucrados los medicamentos vasoactivos por vía intracavernosa. El priapismo se clasifica en isquémico (veno-oclusivo) que es la forma más frecuente y Priapismo Arterial (no-isquémico) que es la presentación menos frecuente, causada por la entrada de flujo sanguíneo cavernoso no controlado. El propósito de esta revisión es documentar la fisiopatología de los tipos de priapismo y tratar de esquematizar la conducta diagnóstica y terapéutica ante ellos.

Abstract
Priapism

Priapism has been defined by AFUD as a pathological condition which consists in a penile erection that persists moreover or is not related to sexual stimulation. Priapism pathophysiology has remained unknown until differents groups of clinical investigators began to research about this entity in patients complaining of erectile dysfunction, who where receiving treatment with intracavernosal vasoactive molecules. Priapism can be clasified into ischaemic (venocclusive): the most prevalent type, or Arterial (non-ischaemic). The purpose of this revision is to update the pathophysiology of the two types of priapism and to create an algorithm of therapeutical and diagnostic approach.
