Abstract
Erectile dysfunction can result from blunt or penetrating pelvic or pe rineal trauma. Rupture of the corpora cavernosa leading to loss of the veno-occlusive mechanism and penile artery occlusion have been found in these patients, We present a case of immediate loss of erectile fun ction after penetrating perineal trauma resulting in corpus cavernosum rupture and traumatic occlusion of multiple arteries in the hypogastr ic-cavernous bed. Conservative management of the corpus injury resulte d in post-traumatic aneurysmal dilation at the site of injury with ven ous leakage from aberrant veins. Penile arterial revascularization and aneurysm repair with deep penile venous ligation resulted in near-com plete return of normal erectile function.
