Abstract
We describe the case of a 23 year-old man with highflow priapism following blunt perineal trauma. He was treated successfully with super-selective embolization with a resorbable material (gel foam). We will review the pathophysiology, etiology, and diagnosis and treatment approaches of highflow priapism based on a review of the medical literature.Keywords
