| Popis: | Penile fracture is a rare urological emergency requiring prompt diagnosis and management. The role of high-resolution ultrasonography is established in detecting a tear, in the tunica albuginea. The late complications of penile fracture are distressing and may manifest as asymmetrical and insufficient penile tumescence, penile ischemia, and sometimes urethral stenosis. The current case series demonstrates the combined role of post-papaverine penile Doppler duplex ultrasonography and sonourethrography techniques in assessing the late presenting cases of penile fractures. The combination of these two techniques was found to be a useful comprehensive imaging tool. This combination can be employed in clinical practice to define the extent of trauma and penile insufficiency, in an efficient manner. |
