Abstract
- Penile fracture is an injury caused by the rupture of the tunica albuginea. We report an uncommon case of penile fracture with corporeal fibrosis and erectile dysfunction in a 45-year-old man who sustained a straddle injury to the erect penis. He presented with palpable plaque in the bilateral proximal corpora cavernosa and markedly decreased erectile rigidity at the distal side of the plaque. Exploration and excision of the penile plaque were performed. The patient partially recovered erectile function after surgery and administration of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor.
