Abstract
We report on a patient with atypical clinical findings in whom magneti c resonance imaging confirmed the suspicion of penile rupture, The tea r appeared as an obvious discontinuity of the low signal intensity of the tunica albuginea and was associated with a hematoma. We conclude t hat magnetic resonance imaging is useful for confirming the diagnosis of penile rupture when clinical findings are atypical, indicating surg ical repair.
