[Traumatic rupture of the corpus cavernosum. Three cases (author's transl)]. 1977

B Lobel, and J L Sachot, and G Blanc, and J Bauchart

"Fracture of the penis" by damage to the erectile structures is rare. This accident usually occurs when the erect penis is subjected to trauma, usually during intercourse. The diagnosis is easy in the presence of a haematoma spreading from the fraenulum to the scrotum, with sometimes an obvious breach in the albuginosa of one corpus cavernosum. In the three cases reported here, immediate surgery was possible in two. Early operation, with repair of the ruptured albuginosa, offers the best guarantee of cure without any disturbance in erection.
