Intracorporeal self-injection with epinephrine as treatment for idiopathic recurrent priapism.

Treatment for the opposite, recurrent priapism, is also possible with the same technique using a vasoconstrictive drug. We report a patient with idiopathic recurrent priapism successfully managed by intracorporeal self-injection with epinephrine.
