Treatment of post-traumatic priapism by means of autologous clot embolization. A case report

Eur Urol. 1993;23(4):506-8. doi: 10.1159/000474662.

Abstract

High-flow priapism is a quite uncommon event. The disease should be suspected on the basis of a referred trauma and/or by means of some laboratory findings. Nevertheless selective arteriography remains the only examination able to give us the final diagnosis. Autologous clot embolization allows complete resolution of the problem.
