Overall an uncommon condition but low flow, high flow and stuttering(recurrent) priapism are three different types with different modalities of treatment and outcomes, with low flow being the commonest variety. Common in men in their 30’s and mostly idiopathic. We present a case report of 35 years old male with prolonged ischaemic priapism presented to us in Northwest General Hospital, Peshawar and treated with t shunt procedure.
