Post-traumatic high-flow priapism in a 6-year-old boy: management by percutaneous placement of bilateral vascular coils.
Post-traumatic high-flow priapism in children is a very rare disorder. Treatment of high-flow priapism by catheterization and embolization in children has been described only four times in published reports. To our knowledge, our case report is the first in which embolization was superselective and thus could be performed bilaterally.
