| Popis: | We report a 7-year-old boy with post-traumatic arterial priapism. Doppler US could not reliably identify or exclude a fistula. MR angiography did not demonstrate an arteriovenous fistula and the child was treated conservatively. The ideal imaging modality should demonstrate the presence or absence of a clinically significant causative lesion which, in high-flow arterial priapism, may need intervention. Three-dimensional, contrast-enhanced MR angiography appears to fulfil these requirements. On the basis of the non-invasive imaging findings, invasive intervention was avoided in this case with a successful outcome. |
