Ketamine Saves the Day: Priapism in a Pediatric Psychiatric Patient.

Priapism is an adverse effect of medications used to treat psychiatric disorders. Often, this condition is self-limiting but may require urologic intervention involving aspiration and injection to induce detumescence. A case of a 15-year-old patient with priapism secondary to a long-acting stimulant is presented to describe the effectiveness of ketamine treatment for priapism.
