Abstract

Priapism is a prolonged and painful penile erection, which occurs without prior sexual stimulation. There are two main types, high-flow priapism and low-flow priapism. Although on most occasions the underlying cause will be unknown, it may be the first manifestation of serious disease. In the pediatric patient with prolonged erection we must differentiate between recurrent penile erection and the different types of priapism since each entity requires a specific management and implies a different prognosis.
