Abstract:
Two cases of post-traumatic arterial priapism diagnosed with duplex and color Doppler ultrasonography showed pseudoaneurysm and increased peak systolic and diastolic velocity of the inflowing cavernosal artery(low resistance index). An autologous blood clot successfully controlled tumescence and was comfortable and secure in preventing necrosis and impotence.
