Acute appendicitis presenting as priapism in an 8 year old.
Priapism is uncommon in children. When it does occur the etiology is usually leukemia, sickle cell disease, or trauma.(1) We present a case of priapism in a child in whom the underlying etiology was acute appendicitis. To our knowledge, this has never been reported in the literature.
