and infertility. Erectile dysfunction is highly prevalent in type two diabetes mellitus, and is associated with the endothelial dysfunction
and/or with the atherosclerosis and silent myocardial ischemia. Case report describes a diabetic man suffering from ED and endothelial
dysfunction. The treatment of erectile dysfunction with PDE5 inhibitors was unsuccessfully. The treatment with intracavernosal Alprostadil
