Penile fracture is a rare condition. Primarily it is a rupture of the corpus cavernosum that occurs when the penis is erect. The rupture can also affect the corpus spongiosum and the urethra.We report a case of a 37 year old man who presented with acute penile pain, penile swelling and the inability to pass urine after a blunt trauma during sexual intercourse. In emergency surgery we found bilateral partial rupture of the corpus cavernosum with complete urethral and corpus spongiosum disruption. In the one year follow up the patient presented with normal erectile and voiding function.Emergency surgical repair in penile fracture can preserve erectile and voiding function.

“…In most cases, injury to the erect penis occurs during intercourse when the erect penis slips out of the vagina and is subsequently thrust against the partner's perineum or pubic bone, commonly while the partner is in the superior position 2 . In the remainder of the cases, injury has been caused by the abdominal bending of the penis during masturbation to achieve detumescence, trying to place the erect penis into pants, rolling over in bed, bumping into furniture in the dark, and a kick from horse 3–7 . Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a major disabling long‐term complication following penile fractures.…”

Aim : To assess the penile vascular system in men long-term after surgical treatment of penile fractures. Patients and Methods : During a 15-year period, 36 cases of penile fracture underwent immediate surgical repair at the University of Istanbul, Turkey. At least 1 year after operation, all patients were invited for penile vascular evaluation. 15 patients accepted our call and were enrolled in our study. They were evaluated with detailed medical and sexual history, a serial of serum analyses, and penile color Doppler ultrasonography.Results : By history, 6 of the 36 (16.6%) patients who had undergone surgical repair had erectile dysfunction (ED). The mean interval between surgical intervention for penile fracture and penile vascular evaluation was 3.6 ± 1.9 (range 1.5-8) years. Evaluation of the penile vascular system of 15 men (mean age 35.7 ± 17.3, range 21-63 years) revealed normal vascular system in seven (46.7%), while cavernosal insufficiency was observed in four (26.7%) and arterial insufficiency in three (20%) men. The remaining case (6.7%) was diagnosed to have mixed arterial and cavernous insufficiency. Erectile dysfunction in two cases was considered to be in psychogenic origin and vascular in the remaining four. Conclusion : Although immediate repair is reported to be the treatment of choice in penile fractures, ED of either a physiological or vascular origin can be encountered as a long-term sequel and deserves to be evaluated in detail.

“…It probably remains under-reported due to the embarrassing nature of the condition. Penile fracture is more prevalent in the Middle East than the Western countries 2 . Only a few cases have been reported in the United States in recent years, and even fewer cases in the United Kingdom.…”

Penile fracture is a relatively rare condition arising from a rupture of the corpus cavernosum. In the western world, it is most commonly associated with sexual intercourse. We hereby, report a rare case of accidental, non-masturbatory, self-inflicted penile fracture. It was diagnosed promptly based on clinical assessment, confirmed radiologically and managed surgically, resulting in a good long-term clinical outcome.Our case highlights the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion to diagnose this rare condition, even in the absence of a typical mechanism of injury, in order to ensure that such an injury is not missed.
