Priapism may be classified as the classical veno-occlusive form or the more recently described high flow, arterial type. We report a case of posttraumatic arterial priapism in a 7-year-old boy. The successful management with percutaneous transcatheter embolization of the internal pudendal artery is described.

Posttraumatic priapism in a 7-year-old boy.
Priapism in childhood is most commonly a low-flow state due to sickle cell anemia. A high-flow priapism was seen in a 7-year-old boy following a straddle-injury-induced arteriocavernosal fistula. Penile aspiration, intracorporeal alpha-agonist injection and unilateral arterial embolization failed to resolve the priapism which eventually settled following a cavernosaphenous shunt.

'High-flow' priapism (HFP) is a rarely seen clinical entity that results from unregulated arterial inflow to the corpora cavernosa caused by a shunt between the arterial and lacunar system, which overwhelms venous outflow . The reported incidence of post-traumatic HFP is nearly 6% of al...
متن کاملHigh-flow priapism treated with superselective transcatheter embolization using polyvinyl alcohol particles
OBJECTIVES Priapism is a persistent erection of the penis not associated with sexual stimulation. High-flow priapism is caused by unregulated arterial inflow, usually preceded by perineal or penile blunt trauma and formation of an arterial-lacunar fistula. We present a case of high-flow priapism in a 13-year-old patient managed with polyvinyl alcohol particles. METHODS After obtaining informe...
