A 14-year-old neutered male British shorthair cat presented with a 21-day history of persistent erection and dysuria, along with overgrooming of the perineal region. Mild palpation induced pain and rigid corpora cavernosa with flaccid glans were observed during physical examination. Ultrasonography of the penis did not detect significant blood flow in the penile cavernosal artery. The drawing of aspirate blood from cavernosal bodies for gas analysis was impossible because of the anatomically small penis size of cats. Conservative management, including topical steroid ointment, lidocaine gel, gabapentin, and diazepam, was prescribed for supportive management. The clinical signs resolved, and ultrasonographic examination of the penis revealed no abnormalities. The cat remains clinically well without recurrence during the 6 months after treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first report of non-ischemic priapism in a cat.
一只14岁已绝育的雄性英国短毛猫，出现持续勃起和排尿困难21天的病史，同时伴有会阴区域过度梳理毛发的症状。体格检查时，轻度触诊会引起疼痛，观察到阴茎海绵体坚硬而龟头松弛。阴茎超声检查未检测到阴茎海绵体动脉有明显血流。由于猫的阴茎在解剖学上尺寸较小，无法从海绵体抽取血液进行气体分析。给予了包括外用类固醇软膏、利多卡因凝胶、加巴喷丁和地西泮在内的保守治疗措施以进行支持性管理。临床症状得到缓解，阴茎超声检查未发现异常。在治疗后的6个月里，这只猫临床状况良好，未复发。据我们所知，这是猫非缺血性阴茎异常勃起的首例报告。
