Erectie bij een kleuter door "high-flow" -priapisme: spoedgeval.

Donker, G.A. Erectie bij een kleuter door "high-flow" -priapisme: spoedgeval. Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Geneeskunde: 2005, 149(10), 538-541
A healthy 5-year-old child was brought to the general practitioner with priapism that had been observed for a few days, without any other symptoms. Angiography revealed an arteriovenous fistula originating from the left A. dorsalis penis, which was successfully embolised. The diagnosis was ‘high flow’ priapism. A possible cause in the anamnesis was a fall from a swing two weeks before the embolisation. The doctor’s delay was caused by unfamiliarity with this rare disorder; due to the risk of impotence (impotentia coeundi), it is an emergency situation. (aut. ref.)
