High flow priapism after perineal trauma can be challenging to diagnose. Arteriography successfully identified and embolized an arterial-cavernosal fistula, restoring sexual function.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Trauma Medicine

Background:

  • High flow priapism is a rare condition often resulting from trauma.
  • Delayed diagnosis can lead to significant morbidity and long-term sexual dysfunction.

Observation:

  • A 23-year-old male presented with high flow priapism post-blunt perineal trauma.
  • Penile Doppler ultrasonography failed to identify the underlying arterial-cavernosal fistula.

Findings:

  • Arteriography precisely localized the arterial-cavernosal fistula.
  • Embolization with Gelfoam pledgets resulted in complete detumescence within 2 days.
  • Full return to premorbid sexual function was achieved in 4 weeks.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the limitations of Doppler ultrasonography in diagnosing certain cases of high flow priapism.
  • Arteriography is a crucial diagnostic and therapeutic tool for complex cases.
  • Prompt diagnosis and targeted embolization are key to successful outcomes and preserving sexual function.
