    AbstractChronic penile pain causes significant suffering in men, yet the management of chronic penile pain is not described in current literature. A patient presented with penile pain for 3 months following a tick bite. The pain was debilitating, and prevented him from working or performing routine activities. Extensive workup of the pain did not demonstrate an identifiable cause. The patient underwent dorsal nerve block (DNB), which provided immediate pain relief and continued to provide significant relief for several months. This is the first case of chronic penile pain that was successfully managed with DNB.Copyright © 2023 International Anesthesia Research Society.
