CASTANO GONZALEZ, I. et al. Resolution one case arterial priapism secondary to bilateral arteriocavernous fistula with selective embolization using reabsorbible material. Actas Urol Esp [online]. 2004, vol.28, n.10, pp.777-780. ISSN 0210-4806.

Priapism is defined as persistent erection without sexual stimulus. The new classifications make a distinction between venooclusive low flow priapism, isquemic and arterial high flow priapism, non isquemic. The perineal or penis trauma are responsible the most of cases arterial priapism, formation of an arteriocavernous fistula. The diagnosis is clinical, blood gas analysis and colour Doppler ultrasonography of the corpora cavernosa confirmed the diagnosis. The arteriography with selective embolization constitutes a safe and effective therapeutic method. We report one case of arterial priapism secondary to bilateral arteriocavernous fistula resolved with selective embolization using reabsorbible material.

Keywords : Arterial priapism; Angiography; Embolization.
