Penile Fracture: A Case Report

Rupture of the corpora cavernosa, also called penile fracture, is a rare urological emergency; it is a tear in the tunic albuginea of the corpora cavernosa of variable depth and extent up to the urethra, generally occurs in young adults between 20 and 40 years old, most often following trauma to the erect penis. The diagnosis is essentially clinical, but it is recommended to perform an ultrasound. Ignorance of this urological emergency exposes you to complications that can be disabling. We report the case of a 25-year-old patient with a fracture of the penis following a false step during coitus who was operated on and with simple postoperative consequences.
