TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Cycling trauma as a cause of arterial priapism in children and teenagers JO - Reviews in urology A1 - Franco De Rose, Aldo A1 - Irene, Paraboschi A1 - Guglielmo, Mantica A1 - Alexander, Szpytko A1 - Hilgard, Ackermann A1 - De Caro, Giovanni A1 - Carlo, Terrone A1 - Girolamo, Mattioli SP - 273 EP - 277 VL - 19 IS - 4 N2 - Bicycle riding has multiple beneficial cardiovascular effects; however, it is a well-documented source of significant urologic injuries. Priapism is a rare condition in children, and occurs primarily because of congenital hematologic diseases or adverse drug reactions. A pediatric clinical case and literature review of a high-flow priapism secondary to cycling trauma is described here to highlight their etiopathologic correlation. Bicycle riding trauma is a rare but possible cause of high-flow priapism in children, and a high index of suspicion should ensure appropriate management.
