Abstract
Background priapism is a persistent penile erection lasting more than four hours without sexual arousal or stimulation. Non-ischemic high-flow priapism is an uncommon finding. Case presentation: we report on a high-flow priapism, an uncommon arteriovenous fistula of the corpus cavernosum after a straddle trauma which was successfully treated by super selective trans-arterial embolization using a temporary embolic agent. At follow up no recurrent episodes of priapism occurred without symptoms of erectile dysfunction or other complications. Conclusion Super selective embolization has a high rate of technical success with preservation of erectile function in this case without complications.
