title: High-flow priapism in children: immediate treatment by selective embolization.
abstract: We present a case of a high-flow priapism related to a posttraumatic aneurysm in a ten-year-old boy treated by selective embolization. Patient history and thorough physical examination often lead to the diagnosis of high-flow priapism. Colour-coded duplex ultrasonography confirms the diagnosis, and treatment consists of angiographic embolization.
