Successful Use of an Inflatable Penile Prosthesis for the Treatment of Distal Deficiency of the Tunica Albuginea and Cavernous Tissue

INTRODUCTION: Congenital hypoplasia of the distal half of the tunica albuginea has not been previously described. AIM: To review a patient presenting with erectile dysfunction secondary to congenital penile hypoplasia. METHODS: History, physical exam and penile Doppler ultrasound of the patient, fol...

description INTRODUCTION: Congenital hypoplasia of the distal half of the tunica albuginea has not been previously described. AIM: To review a patient presenting with erectile dysfunction secondary to congenital penile hypoplasia. METHODS: History, physical exam and penile Doppler ultrasound of the patient, followed by a discussed of treatment options and definitive management. RESULTS: Successful operative treatment of our patient with insertion of an inflatable penile prosthesis. CONCLUSION: We present a case of congenital hypoplasia of the distal tunica albuginea and a successful treatment strategy. We highlight the need for further study of penile embryology.
