High-Flow Priapism and the Importance of the Piesis Maneuver: A Case Report

Abstract

High-flow priapism (HFP) during childhood is a very rare condition. Low-flow priapism (LFP) is an urological emergency, but HFP is not. Thus, it is important to make a differential diagnosis between LFP and HFP. The Piesis Maneuver can be used as a physical examination for differential diagnosis between LFP and HFP, as well as to roughly locate the arteriocavernosal fistula in childhood HFPs.
