Abstract

We report a case of a patient who developed high-flow priapism following a Winter procedure performed for the treatment of low-flow ischemic priapism. During the creation of bilateral cavernosal-glandular shunts, the tip of the left dorsal artery was accidentally lacerated. A fistula developed through the shunt between the torn artery and the cavernosal sinusoids of the tip of the left corpus cavernosum. Gray-scale and Doppler sonography and angiography allowed diagnosis and guided the therapeutic approach.
