RESUMEN
Untreated priapism can lead to ischemic damage of the penis and impotence. This case report describes a 14-year-old boy who presented with a history of priapism for 2 months, which was undiagnosed, ridiculed, and ignored even by medical practitioners. The underlying etiology was later identified to be chronic myeloid leukemia. Despite the usage of multimodal treatment, it took 7 days for control of priapism. The young boy is now left with an erectile dysfunction. The case highlights that priapism in children is a medical emergency needing aggressive evaluation and treatment.
