Renal coloboma syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder that primarily affects kidney and eye development. It is also known as papillorenal syndrome. People with this condition typically have kidneys that are small and underdeveloped (hypodysplastic), which can lead to end-stage renal disease. It has been estimated that approximately 10% of children with hypoplastic kidneys may have renal coloboma syndrome. The eye anomalies consist of a wide and dysplastic optic disk with the emergence of the retinal vessels from the periphery of the disk, frequently called optic nerve coloboma.
High-flow priapism is an uncommon condition typically resulting from penile or perineal trauma, due to laceration of cavernosal artery. We present a case of 24-year-old male who presented with post-traumatic painless priapism. Ultrasound showed hematoma with arterio-cavernosal fistula. On CT Angiogram, the cavernosal artery was seen arising from accessory pudendal artery, which arose from inferior epigastric artery (IEA), branch of external iliac artery (EIA). Catheter angiogram of EIA showed fistulous communication at the base of the penis from a branch of IEA. Selective embolisation of the artery was done using 33% glue (n-butyl cyanoacrylate). Post embolisation, no residual filling of the fistula and partial detumescence of penis was noted. Transarterial embolisation is usually preferred as first line of management in high-flow fistulous priapisms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
