High-flow priapism in a 12-year-old boy: Role of super-selective embolization

Priapism is caused by an imbalance between penile blood inflow and outflow. There are two types, low flow priapism due to venous occlusion and high flow priapism due to uncontrolled arterial flow to the veins. High flow priapism most frequently occurs as a result of penile trauma where the interc...
