Priapism is exceptional before puberty and a new case is here related. Facing the failure of the medical treatment, a caverno-saphenous shunt is realized at the 72e hour. In connection to this case, we present a review of etiological and pathological knowledges applying to this anomaly of erection. An early surgical treatment is obviously necessary to prevent fibrosis, ground for later impotence. Likewise, we must insist on the usually temporary practice of this accident which may lead to discuss about the suppression of the shunt in some secondary deficiency of erection.
