English term

arteriospongious fistula

English Medical Medical: Cardiology urology
This is from an article written in a mixture of German and English, but this term appears only in English.

It seems straightforward enough, a fistula via the arteria bulbi penis to the corpus spongiosum penis, and the author calls it 'arteriospongious fistula'.

My problem is that there are 0 hits in Google or Google scholar for arteriospongious. (The analogous formation, arteriocavernous, gets over 100 hits.)

Any ideas, or should I just go with arteriospongious?

Melanie Nassar (asker) Apr 14, 2006:
Thank you Raging Dreamer, for investigating. The situation is exactly as you described - and my real question was why the term is not mentioned once in Google. Unless this is such an abnormal occurrence that no one has ever written about it before. I guess the only way is to just use the term, unless someone else comes up with an idea.

Arteriospongious ( corpus spongiosum)

My taskbar is puking upon investigation, but I hit upon this link:

http://en.mimi.hu/sexuality/corpus_spongiosum.html

It explains exactly what the corpus spongiosum is.

-------

arteria bulbi penis - a branch of the internal pudendal artery of males that supplies the bulb of the penis

from http://www.thefreedictionary.com/arteria bulbi penis

---------

In medicine, a fistula (pl. fistulas or fistulae) is an abnormal connection or passageway between organs or vessels that normally do not connect. ~from wikipedia~

---------

I think it is called arteriospongious is because the Arteria bulbi (of the penis) abnormally connects to the corpus spongiosum (of the penis) in the condition stated. It is not the arteriocavernus because the corpus cavernosa is a different structure in the penis. (see first link) and this link: http://en.mimi.hu/sexuality/corpus_cavernosa.html

So imo you should stick with the stated.

Hope this helped. It was a very interesting investigation.

arterial corpus spongiosum fistula

Dreamer's suggestion is perfectly correct.
The condition has certainly been described, but the term "arteriospongious" appears not to have been used.

information only, n.f.g.

There are actually texts including another variation of this penis fistulas: --> arteriokavernöse Fistel
see: http://www.springerlink.com/(zkfm4vekwc2don45p3or2j55)/app/h...

There are three parts of the corpus penis, the paired corpora cavernosa and one corpus spongiosum. So even if there is no online source mentioning arteriospongious, you may well - IMO - use this term.

HTH :-)
