BackgroundPriapism, persistent erection without arousal, can be classified into low-flow (venous or ischemic) and high-flow (arterial or non-ischemic). The diagnosis of high-flow priapism can be confirmed by colour Doppler and arteriography and it is usually treated by the endovascular embolization.Case reportWe present a case of a 20-year-old man with a post-traumatic high-flow priapism as a result of the previous perineal trauma. After a period of watchful waiting and an unsuccessful attempt at endovascular embolization using the resorptive gelatinous foam he was successfully treated by the endovascular embolization using N-butyl-cyanoacrylate.ConclusionsHigh-flow priapism can be successfully treated by the endovascular embolization, but the optimal choice of the embolization agent and a careful technique is essential.

Intensity of color and power Doppler signals and RI measurement of mural arteries in thickened bowel wall is linked to CD activity and therefore might be of use in pediatric patients.
