Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
INTRODUCTION: Clitoral priapism is persistent clitoral engorgement without sexual stimulation. Presentation is sparse, and therefore limited treatment options have been investigated.AIM: We present a case report of a 34-year-old female presenting with persistent nonischemic clitoral priapism 5 years after aggressive clitoral stimulation.METHODS: Patient underwent six weekly Li-ESWT sessions at frequency 4 Hz, energy 0.11 mJ for 2000 shocks per session. Assessment included physical examination of clitoral glans engorgement and retraction, global response assessment (GRA) score, need for topical phenylephrine, and ability to achieve orgasm.RESULTS: At the end of the therapy, examination revealed complete resolution of priapism with a normal-appearing clitoris fully retracted behind the clitoral hood. The patient reported no longer requiring topical phenylephrine, a significant improvement in GRA, and the ability to achieve orgasm.CONCLUSION: We present a case of nonischemic clitoral priapism resolved with Li-ESWT. More investigation regarding the utilization of Li-ESWT in the treatment of clitoral priapism is highly encouraged.
