Abstract
Priapism is defined as a persistent erection that prolongs for more than 4 to 6 hours regardless of sexual stimulation. It is rare in pediatdrc population and might be frequently due to sickle cell anemia, hematologic disorders, toxins, malignancy and drugs. Ischemic subtype is the most common type in childhood. It is still challenging for clinicians to manage pediatric age patients with priapism in consequence of lack of well established data. In this review, the literature is searched in order to understand and manage properly the clinical classification, etiology, pathology and novel treatment modalities. Keywords: priapism, priapism in childhood, prolonged erection
