The authors studied therapeutic and evolutionary epidemiological, etiological and evolutionary traits. This is a review of patient records admitted to the surgical emergency departments of National Reference University Hospital Centers (NGRH) and at the Mother and Child University Hospital Centers (MCH) in Ndjamena with priapism that was taken care of from 2006 to 2016. Age, consultation time, etiology, established treatment and outcomes of management were the variables studied. The series involved 31 patients, the average age was 21. The main etiology was sickle cell priapism with 77% of cases. Six (6) patients or 19.3% had a history of prolonged erection. More than half of our patients (52%) had consulted after 72 hours of evolution. The puncture of cavernous bodies was the most widely used therapeutic method (45%). No major postoperative complications were recorded in the management of patients in our series. Sustained detumescence was achieved the same day or the next day in all our patients. Conclusion: Although priapism is rare in Africa, it is characterized by the predominance of sickle cell disease as etiology and the longtime of management in particular.
