Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: We report a case of penile strangulation by a plastic band with an unknown time of onset. A 61-year-old man was brought to the emergency department with complaints of painful edematous swelling of the penis caused by a plastic band. The patient had an intellectual disability and, thus, difficulties were associated with obtaining a detailed medical history, including the time of onset. Penile strangulation was released by surgical scissors in the emergency room. The patient made a satisfactory recovery seven days after admission, and no major complications were observed.
