Erectile dysfunction due to ectopic penile vein

A total of 86/260 patients with erectile dysfunction had venous
leakage as (joint) etiology. In 5 of 86 patients cavernosography
showed pathologic cavernosal drainage only via an ectopic penile
vein into the femoral vein. After ligation of this pathologic
draining vessel, 4 of 5 patients regained spontaneous erectability.
One patient with pathologic bulbocavernosus reflex latencies needed
intracavernosal injection of vasoactive drugs for full rigidity.
