Priapism is a : is a erection lasting longer than 4 hours. In children it is usually caused by a medical condition that alters blood flow in small vessels, especially sickle cell anemia, dehydration and other blood disorders. Getting urgent medical intervention is important to prevent scarring that may have long term effects. Other causes may include medications, street drugs and acute trauma.
