We present a case of low‐flow priapism that was successfully treated. A 21‐year‐old man with a history of schizophrenia was admitted with a painful complete erection. He had taken propericiazine, phenothiazine derivatives, before hospitalization and was treated with a glandular–cavernosal shunt (El‐Ghorab's procedure). Currently, he is able to have erections without any changes in his quality of life.
