Summary

Color Doppler sonography effectively diagnoses posttraumatic arterial priapism by pinpointing the arterial-sinusoidal fistula. This imaging technique is crucial for identifying the cause of high-flow priapism, aiding in prompt treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Posttraumatic high-flow arterial priapism results from abnormal connections between arteries and the penile sinusoids.
  • Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective management of this condition.

Observation:

  • Three cases of posttraumatic arterial priapism were analyzed.
  • Targeted color flow sonography was employed in all cases.

Findings:

  • Color flow sonography successfully identified the intracavernosal arterial-sinusoidal fistula in all three patients.
  • Two of the three fistulas were only detectable using color Doppler sonography.

Implications:

  • Color Doppler sonography is a vital noninvasive tool for diagnosing arterial priapism.
