Abstract
-
High flow priapism is a nonischemic form of priapism. This results from unregulated, continuous arterial inflow to the lacunar spaces by trauma or idiopathic causes. It is clinically recognizable because the erection is painless and coporal aspiration yields bright red blood with a high pO2. We report a case of arterial high flow priapism secondary to perineal blunt trauma in 29-year-old man treated with embolization of cavernosal artery.
