Eleven selected patients participated in a programme of intracavernous auto-injections for erectile impotence. This treatment provided these patients with an erection allowing sexual relations which were considered to be satisfactory at the beginning, but more than one half of them progressively abandoned the technique after six months; as the majority of partners expressed feelings of frustration. Auto-injections represent a valid alternative in the treatment of erectile impotence of essentially neurological origin.
