An experience of percutaneous embolization to post-traumatic arterial priapism in a child.
We report an experience of percutaneous transcatheter embolization to posttraumatic arterial priapism in a child. Priapism was successfully treated with this method. Angiography with subsequent selective embolization should be considered to be the treatment of choice for arterial priapism in children as well as in adults when less invasive treatments fail.
