title: Color Doppler sonographic findings in penile fracture.
abstract: We performed color Doppler sonographic examination on 4 patients, 3 of whom had preliminary diagnoses of penile fracture and 1 of whom had undergone an operation due to penile fracture a year previously. Color Doppler sonography helped evaluate the relationships between the hematoma and the vascular structures and aided in differential diagnosis of the vascular injuries that may accompany tunical rupture (or have similar clinical presentations) and Mondor's disease; thus, this method has a crucial role in choosing the treatment approach. Color Doppler sonography may also assist in the follow-up of patients after surgical or conservative treatment.
