Abstract
BACKGROUND Idiopathic partial thrombosis of the corpus cavernosum (IPTCC) is a rare, semi-acute disease in young, healthy men. In addition to an anatomical predisposition, perineal microtrauma is stated as the main risk factor. MATERIALS AND METHODS A case report and the results of a literature search with descriptive-statistical processing of 57 peer-reviewed publications are presented. A therapy concept was drawn up for clinical practice. RESULTS Our patient was treated conservatively and was consistent with the 87 cases which have been published since 1976. IPTCC is a disease of young men (33.2 years, range 18-70), which is associated with pain and perineal swelling in 88%. Sonography and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) proved to be the diagnostic modality of choice, demonstrating the thrombus and in 89% a connective tissue membrane inside the corpus cavernosum. Treatment included antithrombotic and analgesic (n = 54, 62.1%), surgical (n = 20, 23%), analgesic (n = 8, 9.2%), via injection (n = 2, 2.3%), as well as radiological interventional (n = 1, 1.1%) options. In 12 cases, erectile dysfunction, mostly temporary, which required phosphodiesterase (PDE)-5 therapy developed. Recurrence and prolonged courses were rare. CONCLUSION IPTCC is a rare disease in young men. Conservative therapy with antithrombotic and analgesic treatment has shown good chances of full recovery. If relapse occurs or the patient refuses antithrombotic treatment, operative/alternative therapy management should be considered.

Abstract
Partial thrombosis of the corpus cavernosum is an extremely rare and likely underdiagnosed urologic condition. We discuss a case of a 25-year-old male who presented with severe perineal pain and was diagnosed with idiopathic proximal partial thrombosis of the corpus cavernosum via ultrasound and MRI. The patient experienced symptom resolution with evidence of disease regression on follow up MRI after treatment with direct oral anticoagulation. Further studies are needed to fully delineate the pathophysiology of this condition to facilitate development of standardized diagnostic and treatment algorithms.

Abstract
AIM To describe the association between partial thrombosis of the corpus cavernosum, partial priapism, and hard flaccid syndrome. METHODS An scoping review was performed according to the recommendations of the Joanna Briggs Institute. Moreover, we performed a search strategy using the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CENTRAL databases. We included the available information, evaluating the conditions of partial thrombosis of the corpus cavernosum, partial priapism, and hard flaccid syndrome, and their molecular and physiological mechanisms and clinical presentation. RESULTS We identified 207 manuscripts and chose eight studies published between 2001 and 2021. The total number of patients was 34, and their mean age was 28.2 years. Moreover, in 84% of the studies, the pathophysiology of the events was related to microtrauma or prolonged perineal compression. Also, 94.2% of the patients had some degree of erectile dysfunction. In addition, out of all patients, 94% underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, patients with hard flaccid syndrome did not show relevant findings in these studies. Conversely, MRIs showed asymmetry in the proximal corpora cavernosa, thrombosed corpus cavernosum segments, and mainly cavernous fibrous septum in patients with partial cavernous thrombosis and partial priapism. CONCLUSION Partial thrombosis of the corpus cavernosum, partial priapism, and hard flaccid syndrome occurred more frequently in young patients, possibly related to microtraumas that generate cavernous fibrosis and trigger alterations in the erection of the distal portion of the penis. Also, they cause proximal hardening pelvic, perineal pain, painful ejaculations, and cavernous asymmetry. Moreover, the imaging characteristics are similar in patients with partial priapism and partial cavernous thrombosis. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
High-flow priapism is a rare condition characterized by prolonged and painless erection. It is defined as contusion or thrombosis of the cavernous body of the penis usually secondary to blunt trauma. Due to the rarity of the disease, there is no well-defined consensus about treatment. Conservative treatment is often applied with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. We present a case of 58-year-old man with proximal partial priapism that developed secondary to blunt trauma to the penis. The patient did not benefit from non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug therapy and then was successfully treated with selective embolization.

Abstract
Partial thrombosis of corpus cavernosum is an uncommon condition that needs a high level of suspicious to be diagnosed. Imaging techniques may be very useful, and MR is the state-of-the-art technique. We present a case of a young male who presented to the emergency department with perineal and painful mass. MR imaging clearly depicted a thrombosed corpus cavernosum and a bilateral membrane that is possibly the underlying predisposing condition. With only conservative treatment the patient had an excellent outcome.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Idiopathic partial thrombosis (IPT) of the corpus cavernosum is a rare condition. The etiology is not fully understood; however, the presence of an either or not congenital web in these patients may contribute to the development of IPT. AIM The aim of this study was to describe 18 new IPT cases and compare these with 38 cases found in the literature. METHODS A multicenter retrospective analysis was performed. Descriptive statistics are given. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The main outcome measures used were clinical presentation, clinical and radiographical diagnostics, treatment and resolution of symptoms. RESULTS Patients most frequently presented with perineal swelling (10/18; 56%) and pain (13/18; 72%), unilateral (12/18; 67%) or bilateral (4/18; 22%), and pain during erection (10/18; 72%). Penile curvature, dysuria or fever (each 1/18; 6%) were uncommon presenting symptoms. In our series, magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a fibrous web in the corpus cavernosum in 100% of cases and was more bilaterally (11/18; 61%) than unilaterally (7/18; 39%) diagnosed. Cycling was found to be a provocative factor for IPT occurrence in patients at risk as 61% (11/18) of patients reported being a frequent cyclist with the episode of IPT occurring immediately after or during cycling activity in 8 out of 18 patients (8/18; 44%). In five centers, 15 patients were treated conservatively, the majority being treated with therapeutic doses of low molecular weight heparin and simultaneous anti-aggregant therapy. In one center, all three patients were treated with a surgical approach. Complete resolution of symptoms was noted in only 50% of cases. CONCLUSION IPT is a condition that presents typically with perineal pain and swelling. Cycling is often seen as a provocative factor, while the presence of a fibrous web at the level of the crurocavernosal junction is the underlying disorder allowing for entrapment of blood in the crura. Conservative treatment provides a reasonably good outcome in most cases. For therapy resistant cases, surgery can be considered.

Abstract
Background Partial segmental thrombosis of the corpus cavernosum (PSTCC) is a rare disease predominantly occurring in young men. Cardinal symptoms are pain and perineal swelling. Although several risk factors are described in the literature, the exact etiology of penile thrombosis remains unclear in most cases. MRI or ultrasound (US) is usually used for diagnosing this condition. Case presentation We report a case of penile thrombosis after left-sided varicocele ligature in a young patient. The diagnosis was established using contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and was confirmed by contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (ceMRI). Successful conservative treatment consisted of systemic anticoagulation using low molecular weight heparin and acetylsalicylic acid. Conclusion PSTCC is a rare condition in young men and appears with massive pain and perineal swelling. In case of suspected PSTCC utilization of CEUS may be of diagnostic benefit.

Abstract
With only 34 prior cases in world literature, partial priapism (PP), also called partial segmental thrombosis of the corpus cavernosum, is a rare urological condition. The aetiology and treatment of PP is still unclear, but bicycle riding, trauma, drug usage, sexual intercourse, haematological diseases and α-blockers have been associated with PP. In this case report and world literature review, we describe the case of a 50-year-old man suffering from PP after ingesting 100 mg of sildenafil. The patient was treated with a surgical incision for corpus cavernosum and clot evacuation, as a conservative treatment of PP was not feasible due to severe pain and unresponsiveness to analgesics.

Abstract
Idiopathic partial thrombosis of the corpus cavernosum (IPT) is a rare cause of perineal pain involving thrombosis within the proximal corpora cavernosa. This article clarifies the aetiology and makes recommendations on diagnosis and treatment. Three cases are described and a systematic review of the literature is presented. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the penis conducted for reasons other than IPT were also reviewed, to compare the normal anatomy of the corpora cavernosa with that of IPT patients.Twenty-nine IPT cases were identified, including the three described here. All patients presented with perineal pain and in all cases the thrombus was located in the proximal part of the corpora cavernosa.IPT has been associated with haematological diseases, drugs, prior priapism, sexual activity, bicycle riding and aeroplane flights. A fibrous septum within the corporeal tissue has been identified with advanced imaging modalities. Ultrasound, computed tomography and MRI have proven useful in the diagnosis. Both surgical and medical treatments have been attempted and the results have usually been good. However, two cases of surgical treatment have resulted in erectile dysfunction. It is suggested that ITP is based on the development of penile thrombosis and/or priapism in the presence of a pre-existing fibrous septum in the corpora cavernosa. MRI should be used to confirm the presence of a thrombus and a septum. First choice of treatment is pain medication and systemic anticoagulation; more invasive treatments should only be attempted only if this approach fails.

Abstract
Partial segmental thrombosis of the corpus cavernosum (PSTCC) is a rare urological condition characterized by a painful, firm mass in the proximal part of the corpus cavernosum. The underlying pathophysiology of this condition is not fully understood. We present a case diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging with complete clinical recovery after conservative treatment and novel associated findings, such as excessive alcohol intake. We also review the previous cases of PSTCC and propose a two hit model explaining PSTCC's etiology.

Abstract
The authors report a case of partial thrombosis of a corpus cavernosum, confirmed by MRI imaging. In this patient, a neuroleptic had been prescribed several days before the thrombosis and the clotting assessment demonstrated protein C resistance. Conservative management comprising low molecular weight heparin and aspirin was instituted. Three months later, pain had resolved and signs of a thrombotic scar persisted on MRI. The aetiology of thrombosis of the corpus cavernosum, a rare disease, remains unknown. Neuroleptic therapy has been incriminated. In the light of this case, the authors emphasize the value of systematic clotting assessment.

Abstract
Partial segmental priapism is an unusual clinical condition characterized by thrombosis within the proximal corpora cavernosa. Previous management strategies have included open exploration, surgical shunts, corporal injection, irrigation, and oral medication therapy. We report a case of a 37-year-old man treated conservatively with full restoration of erectile function.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bicycle riding is one of the most popular means of transportation, recreation, fitness and sports among millions of people of all ages who ride on road and off road, using a variety of bicycle types. It is also a readily available form of aerobic non-impact exercise with established cardiovascular beneficial effects. Bicycles are also a common source of significant injuries. This review focuses upon the specific bicycling related overuse injuries affecting the genitourinary tract. MATERIALS AND METHODS MEDLINE search of the literature on bicycling and genitourinary disorders was performed using multiple subject headings and additional keywords. The search yielded overall 62 pertinent articles. We focused primarily on the most prevalent related disorders such as pudendal nerve entrapment, erectile dysfunction and infertility. The potential effect of bicycling on serum PSA level was also discussed in depth in view of its recognized clinical importance. Infrequent disorders, which were reported sporadically, were still addressed, despite their rarity, for the comprehensiveness of this review. RESULTS The reported incidence of bicycling related urogenital symptoms varies considerably. The most common bicycling associated urogenital problems are nerve entrapment syndromes presenting as genitalia numbness, which is reported in 50-91% of the cyclists, followed by erectile dysfunction reported in 13-24%. Other less common symptoms include priapism, penile thrombosis, infertility, hematuria, torsion of spermatic cord, prostatitis, perineal nodular induration and elevated serum PSA, which are reported only sporadically. CONCLUSIONS Urologists should be aware that bicycling is a potential and not an infrequent cause of a variety of urological and andrological disorders caused by overuse injuries affecting the genitourinary system.
