Radiol Case Rep. 2022 Feb 3;17(4):1044-1046. doi: 10.1016/j.radcr.2022.01.019. eCollection 2022 Apr.

Abstract

Priapism is a persistent penile erection lasting more than four hours without sexual arousal or stimulation. We report on a high-flow priapism, an uncommon arteriovenous fistula of the corpus cavernosum after a straddle trauma which was successfully embolized. At follow up no recurrent episodes of priapism occurred without symptoms of erectile dysfunction or other complications.

Keywords: Arteriovenous fistula; High-flow priapism; Super selective embolization.
