Penile Fracture Following a Fall in a 7-Year-Old Male - 26/07/17
, Caitlin T. Coco, James R. Furr, Marshall D. Shaw, Dominic C. FrimbergerAbstract |
We report a rare case of isolated penile fracture in a prepubescent male caused by an accidental fall. The patient presented with swelling and ecchymosis on the base of the penis and along the penile shaft. A flexible cystoscopy was performed, which did not reveal any concomitant urethral injury. The penis was degloved and the corporal tear was closed with absorbable suture. Due to the location of the injury, ventral mobilization of the urethra was required. The pathophysiology of penile fracture as well as the diagnosis and management of this rare injury are discussed in this report.
