Abstract

Priapism is a condition in which a person has an erection without sexual arousal and lasts for at least 4 hours. High flow priapism (HFP) usually follows blunt trauma to the penis or perineum, causing arterial-lacunar fistula. HFPs are rare after sexual intercourse, and early treatment by embolization can prevent erectile dysfunction (ED). The use of gel foam has good results and has shown the least side effects.
