Abstract

We report on the case of a post-traumatic high-flow priapism in a 14 year-old boy, which was confirmed by cavernous blood gas measurement color flow Doppler sonography, and arteriography. It was successfully treated with superselective embolization of the right internal pudendal artery, resulting a clear disappearance of cavernus rigidity.
