title: [Fracture of the corpora cavernosa. Apropos of 22 cases].
abstract: Variable mechanisms were involved, including mainly inadequate manipulation of erect penis, in 22 cases of fracture of corpus cavernosum. Diagnosis is simple from the history and clinical appearance of penis after injury. Early treatment is essential, particularly when the corpus spongiosum is ruptured, and consists of surgical repair, the only guarantee of a satisfactory functional result.
