Generalized Subcutaneous Emphysema Caused by Injection of Air into the Penis for Autoerotic Purposes

Abstract: The injection of air or water into the scrotum has been described only a few times so far in the literature. Injection of air into the penis and its consequences has not been described at all. Here, we present the case of a young man who, acting on his previously suppressed sexual fantasies, injected air into his penis and caused generalized subcutaneous emphysema.

“…A recent case report describes a patient self-injecting air into the penis using an air pump for autoerotic purposes, leading to generalized subcutaneous emphysema and neck pain. 5 Similarities between this case and ours are the suspected point of entry at the frenulum, complaints of pain away from the origin site due to air tracking along fascial planes, and overall clinical stability. Their patient was managed conservatively with pain control and antibiotics only.…”
