Résumé

Penile fracture is a rare injury most commonly sustained during
sexual intercourse. We report the case of a 35-year-old man who
presented with bilateral rupture of the corpora cavernosa and
complete disruption of the urethra. A review of the literature on
penile fracture is also presented. Urgent surgical exploration was
performed and the injuries repaired primarily. In follow-up, the
patient reported satisfactory erectile function. This case highlights
the importance of early surgical repair and evaluation for concomitant
urethral injuries in cases of penile fracture.
