Intracavernous self-injection of vasoactive agents for the treatment of erectile dysfunction has been used widespread in recent years. Complications of intracavernous self-injection include priapism, burning sensation, fibrosis, penile nodule and urethral injection. We report a case of intracavernous needle breakage associated with the Prostaglandin E1 self-injection therapy.
