A case of balanopreputial abscess containing gas in a patient with adhesion of the glans penis to preputial mucosa is presented.


METHODS
The clinical features, diagnostic methods (penile ultrasound) and treatment (debridement + step (staged?) circumcision) are described.


CONCLUSIONS
Severe phimosis and balanopreputial adhesions can cause urological complications as shown in the case described. Ultrasound demonstrated the presence of abscess and gas.
