Congenital Isolated Penile Torsion: A Case Report in 2 Brothers

Penile torsion is a congenital anomaly rarely detected in isolation and mostly accompanied by hypospadias and chordee. It could also happen iatrogenically after penile circumcision.

Description
Summary:Penile torsion is a congenital anomaly rarely detected in isolation and mostly accompanied by hypospadias and chordee. It could also happen iatrogenically after penile circumcision. In previous literature, the incidence rate of isolated penile torsion has been reported between 1.7 and 27%. The diagnosis and treatment of penile torsion have been illustrated in the previous published articles. However, there are few published studies on the familial predominance of penile torsion. Additionally, the clinical characteristics and potential hereditary components of penile torsion are not well known. Therefore, we studied a 12-year-old boy with a severe 180-degree penile torsion, which surgically corrected and his one-year-old brother, who had mild penile torsion and surgically corrected during circumcision.
