Abstract

Torsion of the penis(rotational defect of the shaft) as an isolated anomaly has rarely been reported. The embryologic abnormality appears to be a skin and dartos defect, as the torsion is completely remedied simply by freeing the penile shaft of its investing tissue. We report a case of penile torsion in a patient with a family history of the condition.
