ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of high frequency ultrasound in the diagnosis of closed penile cavernous rupture.Methods:The ultrasonic examination data of 8 patients with closed penile cavernous rupture treated in Union Medical College Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from August 2016 to May 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, and the high-frequency ultrasonic image features were analyzed.Results:Among the 8 patients with closed penile cavernous rupture, 6 were located at the distal end of the corpus cavernosum, one was located at the middle of the corpus cavernosum, and one was located at the proximal end of the corpus cavernosum. All of them were unilateral penile cavernosum rupture, 3 on the left side and 5 on the right side. In all 8 cases, the white membrane of the corpus cavernosum of the penis was continuously interrupted, and the broken end could be clearly displayed. The largest white membrane breach was 16.1 mm, and the smallest was 2.1 mm. Hematoma formed around the rupture of the tunica albuginea of the penis corpus cavernosum, and the maximum range of hematoma was 40.3 mm×15.4 mm, the minimum range of hematoma was 7.9 mm×5.6 mm.Conclusions:High frequency ultrasound is convenient, rapid and accurate, and can be used as the first choice of auxiliary examination for closed penile cavernous rupture.
