Summary
A penile pseudoaneurysm, a rare vascular lesion, was diagnosed after blunt pelvic trauma. Surgical resection confirmed the diagnosis, highlighting the importance of considering vascular injury after trauma.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Vascular Surgery
- Radiology
Background:
- Penile masses can present with varied etiologies.
- Blunt pelvic trauma is a potential cause of vascular injury.
- Pseudoaneurysms are rare but significant vascular complications.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report a case of penile pseudoaneurysm following blunt pelvic trauma.
- To describe the diagnostic imaging findings.
- To discuss the management and pathological confirmation.
Main Methods:
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the penis.
- Color Doppler Ultrasound of the penis.
- Surgical resection of the penile mass.
- Pathological examination of the resected lesion.
Main Results:
- A 1 cm mass was identified in the left cavernous body.
- Imaging confirmed a vascular lesion consistent with pseudoaneurysm.
- Pathological examination revealed pseudoaneurysm.
Conclusions:
- Penile pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of blunt pelvic trauma.
- Multimodality imaging is crucial for diagnosis.
- Surgical resection and pathological analysis provide definitive diagnosis and treatment.

01:30Aneurysm I: Introduction
An aortic aneurysm is a localized outpouching or dilation at a weak point in the artery wall. It may involve different parts of the aorta, such as the abdominal aorta, aortic arch, or thoracic aorta.Etiological factorsSeveral disorders are associated with aortic aneurysms.Congenital causes, such as primary connective tissue disorders like Marfan syndrome, impact the integrity and strength of connective tissues, notably affecting the aorta. Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that specifically...
01:21Aneurysm II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
Thoracic, aortic arch and abdominal aneurysms are significant vascular conditions that can present with various clinical manifestations and lead to serious complications. Understanding these manifestations and the appropriate diagnostic studies is essential for effective management and treatment.Thoracic Aortic AneurysmsThoracic aortic aneurysms often remain asymptomatic until they reach a size that impinges on adjacent structures. They typically cause deep, diffuse chest pain that radiates to...
01:26Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care
Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended. This...
01:29Penis
The penis serves a dual role in sexual reproduction and urination. It consists of three main regions: the glans penis, the body, and the root, each with distinct functions and unique anatomical features.
Anatomy of the Penis
The glans penis, or the head, is the terminal part of the penis and houses the external urethral orifice, the exit point for urine and semen. Covered by the prepuce, or foreskin, the glans is noted for its sensitivity and plays a key role in sexual pleasure. The body of the...

01:10The Arch of Aorta
The coronary arteries, originating from the ascending aorta, bifurcate from two sinuses located within the ascending aorta. Positioned just above the aortic semilunar valve, these sinuses house essential aortic baroreceptors and chemoreceptors, crucial for maintaining cardiac function. The left coronary artery and the right coronary artery branch off from the left posterior and anterior aortic sinuses, respectively.
Encircling the heart, the coronary arteries form a ring-like structure before...

01:17Male Sexual Response: Erection & Ejaculation
Sexual stimulation can take various forms, such as physical touch and visual or auditory cues. When this happens, the parasympathetic reflex in the sacral portion of the spinal cord is activated. This reflex stimulates the release of nitric oxide (NO), which then dilates the arterioles in the penis, increasing blood flow to the erectile tissues - the corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum.
The blood filling the erectile tissues compresses the veins, which helps to prevent blood from leaving...
