High-flow priapism: Highly selective embolization of a traumatic arterio-cavernosal fistula

H Dang et al. J Med Vasc. 2022 Feb.

Abstract

We report the case of a 14-year-old man who arrived at the emergency department affected by a high-flow priapism due to a traumatic left arterial-sinusoidal fistula. After clinical examination, a colour Doppler ultrasound of the penis was performed which showed a left arterial-sinusoidal fistula measuring 7×16×30mm, with high-speed and turbulent flow. The fistula was successfully treated by three highly selective endovascular embolizations and at the 20days follow-up, clinical examination resulted normal.

Keywords: Arterial priapism; Erectile function; Selective embolization.
