Popis: High-flow priapism is a rare condition in the form of priapism unrelated to sexual stimulation. The disease causes a decline in quality of life and has the risk of causing long-term erectile dysfunction if not treated promptly. We report a case of a 48-year-old male patient with prolonged high-flow erection after trauma who received endovascular intervention with n-butyl-2 cyanoacrylate biological glue. Results after 40 days of intervention and use of sildenafil 25 mg/day, the patient has an erection and has normal sexual activity. Cavernous arteriovenous fistula causing priapism with high flow is a rare condition. Computed tomography helps supplement information about feeding vessels as well as accompanying injuries for comprehensive assessment before treatment. Currently, there are many treatment methods, but transcatheter arterial embolization is modality of choice for achieve clinical efficacy and can safely and flexibly reduce the risk of secondary erectile dysfunction.
