Management of high-flow priapism in paediatric patients: a case report and review of the literature.

Priapism is rare in the paediatric population and hence there is little consensus as to appropriate management strategies. This is a report of a case of high-flow priapism in a 9-year-old boy managed expectantly. A review of the literature found 52 previously published cases. This report highlights the diagnostic problems and examines the safety and effectiveness of expectant management in the paediatric population.
