Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: Superficial dorsal vein rupture is a rare penile emergency, it presentation could suggest penile fracture instead. While penile fractures are a true emergency, superficial dorsal vein rupture is not as the consequences for the patient are different and loss of erectile function is rare. We report the observation of 2 men who presented with a clinical picture suggestive of a fracture of the corpora cavernosa, and whose exploration objectified a rupture of the superficial dorsal vein of the penis. The evolution is most often favorable after surgical management.
