Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 4
Abstract
Penile fracture is the rupture of the tunica albuginea of the corpus cavernosum caused by trauma to the erect penis. It is an Uro-surgical emergency and can be partial involving only the tunica albuginea or complete when there is secondary injury to the urethra and neurovascular structure. Recognition and early treatment is the key to management and prevention of complication. This is the case of an adolescent boy who under the influence of alcohol sustained penile fracture following over enthusiastic sexual activity. He had earlier presented at a secondary health facility where he was referred to our facility. Following correct diagnosis of penile fracture, he had successful surgical exploration and fixation of the fracture. He had an uneventful recovery with no complication.
