Objective: To study the diagnostic, etiological, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects of patients received at the Sylvanus Olympio Hospital in Lomé for venous priapism. Patients and Methods: A cross sectional study, over 5 years (2012-2016), of 27 cases of low flow priapism treated at the Chu Sylvanus Olympio in Lomé. Results: The mean age of the patients was 28.14 years ± 8.6. The average time of consultation was 106 hours (04 days 10 hours) ± 208.02. In our study, 4 (14.81%) patients consulted before the 6th hour and 20 (74%) patients consulted after the 24th hour. The blood count required in all patients revealed a case of chronic myeloid leukemia. Hemoglobin electrophoresis resulted in 23 (85.1%) cases of sickle cell disease. The management was medico-surgical. After an average follow-up of 11 months, erectile function was evaluated in 18 patients, and erectile dysfunction was noted in 10 (55.5%) patients.

Context: Thanks to the increase in the number of urologists in Togo, urological activity is improving rapidly. Objective: This study aims at presenting the epidemiological aspects of the diseases diagnosed in urology consultation at the Sylvanus Olympio Teaching Hospital in Lome. Materials and Methods: This research was a two-year retrospective and descriptive study. The data for the analysis were collected from the records of patients received in consultation for urological pathology. The parameters taken into account are: frequency, age, sex, occupation, patient history and diagnosis. Results: 602 patients were admitted at the department of urology within two years, with an annual frequency of 301. The average age of the patients was 48.63 ± 19.69 years;the sex ratio (M/F) was equal to 12.08. Patients over 60 years of age accounted for 33.3% of the patients seen. The medical history of 88 cases showed that the bladder catheterization was most frequent (22 cases) followed by hypertension (15 cases). Benign prostatic hyperplasia was the most frequently diagnosed pathology accounting for 24.9% of the consultations. Conclusion: Benign prostatic hyperplasia is the most frequent pathology in urology consultation at the Sylvanus Olympio Teaching Hospital in Lome.

Background: Transrectal prostate biopsy is a major prostate cancer diagnosis procedure that can cause infectious complications. Osteoarticular localization is uncommon. Aim: To report a case of spondylodiscitis due to a transrectal prostate biopsy and highlight therapeutical principles. Case Presentation: A 60-year-old male underwent transrectal prostate biopsy performed because of high PSA level, and presented 48 hours later with back pain, fever at 40°C associated with an obnubilation. He was treated for malaria without favorable evolution. Persistance of pain and occurrence of neurologic manifestations motivated dorso-lumbar Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) which permitted diagnosis of spondylodiscitis. The treatment was made by triple antibiotic therapy combining Imipenem 500 mg/8h (IV);Ofloxacin 200 mg/12h (IV) and Metronidazole 500 mg/8h (IV) over four weeks. Evolution under treatment was favorable. Conclusion: Spondylodiscitis is an exceptional complication of transrectal prostate biopsy. It may be evocated in case of bones pain after prostate biopsy.
