Abstract
Five men with progressive systemic sclerosis presented with impotence as a significant initial feature of their disease. Endocrine, urologic and psychiatric evaluations failed to reveal another cause for impotence. Apparently male erectile dysfunction represents another manifestation of systemic sclerosis. Possible mecahnisms for this phenomenon are discussed.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
