Sumario: | Penile crural fractures caused by traumatic injuries are rare urological emergencies similar to urethral bulb injuries. This case report discusses the findings of a 59-year-old patient who presented to our emergency department 12 h after an electric bicycle accident. Clinical examination revealed an elevated body temperature, bruised perineal skin, tender penis, and swollen scrotum. Imaging confirmed a penile fracture at the bilateral crus of the penis without considerable urethral trauma. The patient underwent conservative treatment and was followed up on an outpatient basis for approximately three months. Consequently, the patient is relieved of penile pain, has regained erectile function, and reports a satisfactory sexual life. Moreover, this study discusses the efficacy of conservative treatment combined with outpatient follow-up in managing bilateral penile crural fractures. |
