Complete urethral disruption as a complication of urethral catheterization presenting as scrotal mass: A rare case

Complete urethral disruption due to urethral catheterization is rarely documented. Only seven cases of iatrogenic complete urethral disruption were reported from 1997 to 2003. We describe a case of complete urethral disruption due to urethral catheterization in an 80-year-old male who was referred b...

description Complete urethral disruption due to urethral catheterization is rarely documented. Only seven cases of iatrogenic complete urethral disruption were reported from 1997 to 2003. We describe a case of complete urethral disruption due to urethral catheterization in an 80-year-old male who was referred because of a scrotal mass. Physical examination showed a palpable non-fluctuation mass in the scrotum and ultrasound examination revealed an intrascrotal balloon catheter. This was an obscure case of urethral catheterization complication presenting as a scrotal mass in an octogenarian patient with Fournier's gangrene.
