Abstract
- We describe a case of temporary ischemic change of the glans penis after circumcision. A 36-year-old male exhibited an ischemic change in the color of the glans penis the day after receiving a dorsal penile nerve block for circumcision. After the third day, the color of the glans changed from black to dark brown. After 7 days, the glans returned to near normal skin color without other sequelae.
