Ferekh Salim MBChB, MRCP, Presenter: Nothing to Disclose

The penile corpora and tunica albuginea are well visualised using a high frequency linear array probe. Penile trauma often occurs as an injury sustained during sexual intercourse. Although the diagnosis is usually obvious on the basis of clinical history and clinical signs, the diagnosis is not always straightforward. Sonographic signs of penile fracture include discontinuity of the tunica albuginea indicating a tear, there is often an  associated overlying haematoma Prompt surgical repair is indicated in patients with tears of the tunica albuginea Ultrasound provides a quick, non-invasive and inexpensive method of assessing payients withsuspected penile injury

Discussion of normal sonographic appearances of the penile corpora Clinical signs and mechanism of injury leading to penile fracture Sonographic technique used to evaluate the penile corpora Discussion of sonographic appearances of fracture of penile corpora Illustrated examples of cases of patients seen at our institution with fractured corpora
