Does prolonged semi-erection in prepubertal high flow priapism result in increased penile size?

Saudi Med J. 2005 Mar;26(3):481-3.

Abstract

High flow priapism is a rare pathology resulting mainly from trauma to the perineum leading to arterial-lacunar fistula. Management includes arterial embolization using absorbable material, as well as conservative approach. In this case, the effect of prolonged semi-erection in prepubertal high flow priapism on increased penile size is discussed.
