title: High-flow priapism: An overview of diagnostic and therapeutic concepts.
abstract: We describe the case of a 23 year-old man with high-flow priapism following blunt perineal trauma. He was treated successfully with super-selective embolization with a resorbable material (gel foam). We will review the pathophysiology, etiology, and diagnosis and treatment approaches of high-flow priapism based on a review of the medical literature.
