Tadalafil-associated priapism
Abstract
A healthy 46-year-old man presented to the Emergency Department with a 36-hour history of persistent, painful erection after taking the cyclic guanylyl monophosphate-specific phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor tadalafil. He had no other identified contributing factors for priapism. After confirmation of ischemic priapism and failure of bedside management in the Emergency Department, the patient underwent operative caverno-spongiosal shunting. Postoperatively, the erection initially rebounded but gradually receded with manual compression over 48 hours. At outpatient follow-up, the patient remained flaccid without erections. To our knowledge, this is the first report of tadalafil-associated priapism.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
