title: Preputial intussusception or acquired megaprepuce.
abstract: Preputial intussusception, or acquired megaprepuce, is a clinical condition whose incidence is increasing. It results from infolding of the outer preputial skin, obstruction of urinary flow, and the development of a phimosis. With time the process continues, resulting in a distinctive clinical picture. Treatment by early circumcision cures the problem and allows resolution of the sequelae.
