A case of post‐traumatic high flow priapism in a 32‐year‐old man is reported. The diagnosis was based on cavernous blood gas analysis and left internal pudendal arteriography. He was treated by unilateral super‐selective embolization of the fistula with coils and gelatin sponge. At 1 month after embolization, erectile function had recovered, as demonstrated by measurement of nocturnal penile tumescence.
