A diabetic patient developed corpora cavernositis after perianal abscess drainage. This rare case, possibly caused by Actinomycetes spreading via Buck's fascia, highlights a novel complication.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Perianal abscesses are common infections requiring surgical drainage.
  • Corpora cavernositis is a rare inflammation of the penile corpora cavernosa.

Observation:

  • A 58-year-old diabetic male presented with corpora cavernositis post-perianal abscess drainage.
  • The infection was suspected to be caused by Actinomycetes.

Findings:

  • This represents the first reported case of Actinomycetes-induced corpora cavernositis.
  • Direct extension from the perianal abscess through Buck's fascia is the proposed mechanism of spread.

Implications:

  • Highlights a potential, previously unrecognized complication of perianal abscess management.
