Management of ischemic priapism in a 14 year old patient

Öz

Priapism can occur in all age groups, including neonatales, children and adolescents. Pediatric priapism treatment is similar to adult priapism treatment, but there are no guidelines for the management of priapism, which is not common in children. We present a pediatric low-flow priapism case who was unresponsive to conservative methods and underwent T-shunt operation. In the present case, we wanted to emphasize when distal shunt surgery, which is rarely performed in pediatric patients, is necessary and how it is managed.

14 yaşındaki hastada iskemik priapizmin yönetimi

Öz

Priapizm yenidoğan, çocuk ve ergenler de dahil olmak üzere tüm yaş gruplarında ortaya çıkabilir. Pediatrik priapizm tedavisi erişkin priapizm tedavisine benzer ancak çocuklarda yaygın olmayan priapizmin tedavisine yönelik bir kılavuz bulunmamaktadır. Konservatif yöntemlere yanıt vermeyen ve T-şant ameliyatı geçiren pediatrik düşük akımlı priapizm olgusunu sunmayı amaçladık. Bu olguda çocuk hastalarda nadiren uygulanan distal şant ameliyatının ne zaman gerekli olduğunu ve nasıl yönetildiğini vurgulamak istedik.
