Post-Traumatic High-Flow Priapism: Accessory Pudendal Origin of Cavernosal Artery From External Iliac Artery - A Case Report.

High-flow priapism is an uncommon condition typically resulting from penile or perineal trauma, due to laceration of cavernosal artery. We present a case of 24-year-old male who presented with post-traumatic painless priapism. Ultrasound showed hematoma with arterio-cavernosal fistula. On CT Angiogram, the cavernosal artery was seen arising from accessory pudendal artery, which arose from inferior epigastric artery (IEA), branch of external iliac artery (EIA). Catheter angiogram of EIA showed fistulous communication at the base of the penis from a branch of IEA. Selective embolisation of the artery was done using 33% glue (n-butyl cyanoacrylate). Post embolisation, no residual filling of the fistula and partial detumescence of penis was noted. Transarterial embolisation is usually preferred as first line of management in high-flow fistulous priapisms.
