Impairment of erectile function, although normally a benign disorder, has a profound impact on the well-being of many men.
Penile erection is produced by a complex series of events involving cognition, peripheral sensory input, central and peripheral autonomic nervous events and hormonal vascular events.
The multiplicity of potential determinants identified suggest that impotence does not inexorably accompany age, but it is an arugmented significantly modifiable paraaging phenomena.
A 53 year old male patients developed sudden impotence. The patients did not respond to intracavernous injection of papaverine.
This patient was successfuly treated with 4 repeated stellate ganglion blocks.
