Abstract

Introduction and Aim: Treatment of high-flow priapism varies from watchful waiting to mechanical compression with ice packs, aspiration, intracavernous admission of alpha- adrenergic agonists or even open surgery with ligation of the artery concerned. Embolisation is also a choise for treatment for high-flow priapism. Autologous clot, gelfoam, N-butyl-cyanoacrylate, and metallic micro-coils have been used as embolic agents. Case: In our case, we first used thrombin for autologous cloth formation but recanalisation occured. After two weeks we had to make superselective coil embolisation to bubocavernosal segment of pudental artery. Conclusion:Micro-coil embolisation was the permanent choise of treatment for post traumatic priapism.
