Abstract:
We present a case of traumatic penile artery occlusion resulting in arteriogenic erectile dysfunction. A 34-year-old man was referred to the emergency department following a motorbike collision that caused pelvic trauma. Contrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography revealed a complex pelvic fracture pattern, including pubic diastasis, fracture of the left sacral ala, and avulsion of the left ischiatic spine, along with penile artery occlusion and absence of homolateral cavernosal corpora blushes. Contrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography is a comprehensive and precise imaging modality for evaluating pelvic trauma. Assessment of the penile artery and internal pudendal artery network is crucial in pelvic trauma cases to promptly identify arterial occlusion and facilitate timely evaluation and management of erectile dysfunction.
