    Penile fracture is a real urological emergency; it is underreported due to the shyness to describe it. It usually occurs during intercourse when the erect penis forcefully hits against the perineum or symphysis pubis. While imaging may be used as an adjunct to aid diagnosis, especially in equivocal cases, the diagnosis remains mostly a clinical one. Standard treatment is immediate surgical. Preferred incision to be employed is subcoronal circumferential incision with minimal complications and excellent results
