title: [Gas-containing balano-preputial abscess; diagnostic and therapeutic approach].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  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.
