False Penile Fracture: A Case Report and Review of Current Diagnosisand Management

Abstract

False penile fracture, a rare cause of acute penis, results from deep dorsal vein, superficial dorsal vein, and dorsal artery
injuries as well as non-specific dartos bleeding. The management of false penile fracture may be conservative when the
diagnosis is certain. However, emergent surgical exploration and repair are favoured to prevent long-term complications.
Reported herein is an uncommon case of deep dorsal penile vein rupture that was thought to be true penile fracture before
exploration with a view to discussing the current diagnosis and management of false penile fracture.
