Penile fracture is known as a rupture of the tunica albuginea occurring during erection. Diagnosing a penile fracture is usually not difficult, and often is based on the patients history and a physical examination. However, patients with atypical clinical findings may require an accurate diagnostic procedure. Immediate surgical intervention is normally used for treating a penile fracture due to the high risk of complications associated with conservative management. The authors recently experienced 2 cases of a penile fracture and the superiority of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) over ultrasonographic imaging for diagnosing a suspected penile fracture was shown. Therefore, MRI is recommended for diagnosing a suspected atypical penile fracture.
