In this work the authors describe a case of priapism lasting approx. 15 hours presenting chronic myeloid leukaemia in a 15-year-old boy. Aspiration of the corpora cavernosa was carried out and the boy remained in intensive care for 2 months, after which a Doppler examination was performed. This showed a moderate flow in the left artery and a poorer situation in the right.

– The aim of this study was to highlight the andrological alteration deriving from removal of the colon for cancer. Eighty patients aged between 46 and 85 years were investigated to identify those who reported normal sexual activity at the time of the operation. The 42 patients selected in this way subsequently underwent echo colour Doppler of the penis. Results show that such radical surgery is damaging to sexual activity, the extent of which basically depends on the type of operation.

The authors emphasise the usefulness of Power-Doppler with echo amplification in studying the arterial microcirculation in selected patients with erectile deficit.
