An alternative noninvasive approach for the treatment of high-flow priapism in a child: duplex ultrasound-guided compression.
We are presenting a 5-year-old boy with a traumatic high-flow priapism developed after a straddle injury and successfully treated by compression and simultaneous monitoring with a duplex ultrasound probe. We believe that this may be an alternative method against conventional treatment modalities including conservative follow-up, sympathomimetic drug administration, percutaneous embolization of the fistula, and surgical ligation.
