It is an uncommon uropathology which characteristically occurs when one or both of the turgid penile corpora cavernosa forcefully snap under an abrupt blunt trauma, usually during an aggressive sexual intercourse or noncoital manipulation. In the majority of cases, diagnosis is clinical. Surgical repair irrespective of the time of presentation results in accelerated recovery, reduced morbidity, and fewer short and long-term complication rates. We report the case of a 35-year-old banker who sustained a bilateral rupture of the tunica albuginea without urethral injury during a heterosexual intercourse. He presented 7 days after the trauma to our facility following the persistence of symptoms despite conservative management with herbal medicine. Following a clinical diagnosis of penile fracture, he had penile exploration under regional anesthesia using a degloving subcoronal incision. He subsequently had repair of both corporal tear after clot evacuation. The postoperative period was uneventful, and he was discharged on the 3\n                      <jats:sup>rd<\/jats:sup>\n                      day after the surgery. He had been followed up for 2 years with good erectile and functional outcomes. This case report reiterates the fact that late presentation is not a barrier to surgical management and good outcome.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/aam.aam_56_20","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,18]],"date-time":"2022-03-18T10:25:58Z","timestamp":1647599158000},"page":"102-105","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Double Penile Fracture without Urethral Injury Presenting after 7 Days"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Friday Emeakpor","family":"Ogbetere","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-18-20240831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"409","DOI":"10.1590\/s1677-5538.ibju.2019.0367","article-title":"Lessons learned after 20 years\u2019 experience with penile fracture","volume":"46","author":"Barros","year":"2020","journal-title":"Int Braz J Urol"},{"key":"R2-18-20240831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"24","DOI":"10.1007\/s12301-010-0006-7","article-title":"Penile fracture from entrapment of an erect penis in the African Bamboo bed: A case report","volume":"16","author":"Anselm","year":"2010","journal-title":"African J Urol"},{"key":"R3-18-20240831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"555","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2168.2002.02075.x","article-title":"Fracture of the penis","volume":"89","author":"Eke","year":"2002","journal-title":"Br J Surg"},{"key":"R4-18-20240831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"330","DOI":"10.1177\/1557988308324948","article-title":"Penile fracture following husband abuse: A case report","volume":"3","author":"Dienye","year":"2009","journal-title":"Am J Mens Health"},{"key":"R5-18-20240831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"440","DOI":"10.1016\/j.aju.2012.07.004","article-title":"Increase in fracture of the penis in south-west Nigeria","volume":"10","author":"Tijani","year":"2012","journal-title":"Arab J Urol"},{"key":"R6-18-20240831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1141","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1743-6109.2008.01117.x","article-title":"Sexual function and tunica albuginea wound healing following penile fracture: An 18-year follow-up study of 352 patients from Kermanshah, Iran","volume":"6","author":"Zargooshi","year":"2009","journal-title":"J Sex Med"},{"key":"R7-18-20240831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"315","DOI":"10.1159\/000444884","article-title":"Penile fracture: A meta-analysis","volume":"96","author":"Amer","year":"2016","journal-title":"Urol Int"},{"key":"R8-18-20240831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"258","DOI":"10.5489\/cuaj.1560","article-title":"Addressing the barriers to optimal management of penile fracture","volume":"7","author":"Bella","year":"2013","journal-title":"Can Urol Assoc J"},{"key":"R9-18-20240831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"308","DOI":"10.1016\/0090-4295(95)80022-0","article-title":"Ketoconazole for prevention of postoperative penile erections","volume":"45","author":"Stock","year":"1995","journal-title":"Urology"},{"key":"R10-18-20240831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"346","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.ijir.3901160","article-title":"Use of oral ketoconazole to prevent postoperative erections following penile surgery","volume":"16","author":"Evans","year":"2004","journal-title":"Int J Impot Res"}],"container-title":["Annals of African Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/aam.aam_56_20","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,19]],"date-time":"2026-08-19T19:08:39Z","timestamp":1787166519000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/aam.aam_56_20"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,1]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2022]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/aam.aam_56_20","relation":{},"ISSN":["1596-3519"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1596-3519","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,1]]}}}
