description We present a case report of acute glans ischemia in a patient with significant vascular comorbidities following insertion of an inflatable penile prosthesis for erectile dysfunction. In this report, we pictorially display the physical exam findings that led to prompt diagnosis and discuss the importance of early device explantation (within 24 hours) to prevent glandular tissue loss.
