Imaging appearance and role of CEUS of high flow priapism. A case report

Med Ultrason. 2019 Aug 31;21(3):353-355. doi: 10.11152/mu-1799.

Abstract

High flow priapism caused by perineal trauma is a relatively rare disorder. Early diagnosis represents a mandatory condition for the therapeutic resolution. Ultrasound examination is affordable and a within reach method for diagnosis also in an emergency context. We present the case of a 56-year-old male patient with traumatic priapism which was subsequently investigated by contrast-enhanced ultrasound and shear wave elastography. This may be one of the first cases presented in the literature.
