Posttraumatic high-flow priapism in a 10-year-old boy: superselective embolization of the arteriovenous fistula

Eur Urol. 1998;33(3):337-9. doi: 10.1159/000019569.

Abstract

We report on a 10-year-old boy who presented with painless priapism 11 days after blunt perineal trauma. Examination by color flow Doppler sonography demonstrated an arteriovenous fistula, which was confirmed by penile arteriography. Complete detumescence of the penis developed following superselective embolization with Ethibloc.
