Abstract:
Penile fracture is rather rare. Authors experienced two cases of penile fracture recently and reviewed the literature. Case 1 is a 34-year-old married male who visited our clinic on 17th Sept, 1976 with the chief complaint of painful swelling and deformity of the penis. The present illness started with a cracking sound followed with chief complaint on the day before his visit by sudden change of posture. Conservative treatment was done. After treatment no curvature nor deformity of the penis was found. After discharge the patient lives normal sexual life. Case 2 is a 59-year-old married male who visited our clinic on 8th April, 1977 with the chief complaint of urethral bleeding, painful swelling and deformity of the penis. He also experienced a cracking sound. Urethral catheter will not pass forward and urethrogram revealed extravasation of dye in the pendulous portion. Urethroplasty and Foley catheter indwelling were done. Urethrocutaneous fistula happened but no curvature was noticed.
