Perineal and penile traumas are the commonest cause of high-flow priapism. The clinical symptom of this disease is generally a prolonged, painless, and semirigid penile erection without any other urogenital symptoms. In contrast, high-flow priapism is a quite uncommon condition after transurethral surgery and it may be presented with an unusual clinical manifestation. Herein, we report the first case of priapism associated with massive urethral hemorrhage requiring blood transfusion after internal urethrotomy. High-flow priapism was successfully treated by autologous clot embolization and the priapism associated with massive urethral hemorrhage resolved.
