Recurrent transient global amnesia after intracavernous Caverject injection in erectile dysfunction after robotic prostatectomy

Abstract

Treatment of erectile dysfunction after radical prostatectomy includes intracavernous Caverject injections. We present the case of recurrent transient global amnesia in a man performing self-administration of Caverject after robotic radical prostatectomy. The correlation between the intracavernous injection and the neurological phenomenon was repeated and evident, yet the specific aetiology of transient global amnesia remains uncertain.
