    AbstractWe report a case of priapism occurring in a patient taking a standard daily dose of the atypical antipsychotic quetiapine (Seroquel). To our knowledge, this represents the second published report associating quetiapine with priapism, and the first to associate priapism with routine dosing of the drug. Previously published studies have suggested that alpha-adrenergic blockade may be the mechanism of action for this side effect. We report successful management in this case with cavernosal aspiration followed by intracavernosal injection of phenylephrine.
