Resume

La strangulation du pénis est une pathologie rare nécessitant une prise en charge en urgence. Plusieurs objets, métalliques ou non, peuvent être placés sur le pénis pour augmenter les performances sexuelles ou dans des intentions auto-érotiques.

Nous rapportons l’observation d’un patient schizophrène âgé de 44 ans qui s’est présenté au service des urgences pour une strangulation du pénis secondaire à un anneau métallique placé à la base du pénis 8 jours avant la consultation, sans trouble urinaire. Une décompression chirurgicale a été indiquée.

Une revue de la littérature nous a permis de mettre en exergue les différents tableaux cliniques de la strangulation du pénis et les méthodes thérapeutiques.

Abstract

Penile strangulation is a rare injury that requires urgent management. Various non-metallic and metallic objects are placed around the penis to increase sexual performance or for autoerotic purposes.

A 44-year-old male presented to the emergency department with penile strangulation due to metallic rings placed at the base of the penis 8 days prior to the visit. He did not present any problems of urination. The authors review the scientific literature on this unusual condition and its management.
