Abstract :Penile fracture is caused by rupture of the corpus cavernosum with increased internal pressure due to straining of the erectile penis and/or exposure to an obtuse trauma. Its classical findings are sudden intense pain in the penis following a rupture sound, sudden loss of erection, swelling, ecchymoses and deviation. Diagnosis of penile fracture can be made with a careful history and physical examination. There is no need for additional diagnostic tests for most of the patients. Surgical intervention is accepted as the golden standard for the treatment of penile fracture. In our paper, five cases of penile fracture who were admitted to our emergency department are presented, and the diagnostic and treatment methods are discussed according to the recent literature.
Keywords : Penile fracture, urethral rupture, emergency medicine
