[Post-traumatic arterial priapism resolved using supraselective embolization].
1996
: Presentation of a new case of high flow priapism in a patient with recent background of perineal traumatism. Diagnosis, already inferred through anamnesis, was later suspected from the results of blood gasometry in cavernous bodies, and eventually confirmed by Eco-Doppler. A revision of the related literature revealed a total of 20 patients in whom supraselective embolization has been used as the therapeutical approach, Bucrylate being used in only two of them. Finally, a few considerations are contributed on the therapeutical management of these patients and the relevance of a correct diagnosis of the two distinct groups of priapism, since they differ considerably in terms of treatment.
