Isolated Urethral Rupture Related to Sexual Intercourse in Male and Literature Review.

INTRODUCTION Penile fracture is defined as blunt trauma resulting in a tear of tunica albuginea surrounding the corpus cavernosum and rapidly expanding hematoma during erection. Concomitant penile fracture with urethral rupture has been reported from 10% to 20% in all penile fracture cases. However, isolated urethral injury during sexual inter courseis extremely rare. In females, intercourse-related urethral injury might occur after rape, sexual abuse, Müllerian anomalies, or intraurethral intercourse. Among males, only 5 cases have been described in the literature. (4-6) We report a patient suffering from penile trauma during sexual intercourse and urethral rupture without penile fracture as demonstrated on surgical exploration.
