[Penile hematoma caused by deep dorsal vein rupture during intercourse]. / Hematoma peneano por rotura de vena dorsal profunda durante el coito.

OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of rupture of the deep dorsal vein of the penis during sexual intercourse. METHODS: A 21-year-old patient consulted at the emergency services for acute penis after vigorous sexual intercourse, with clinical features suggestive of rupture of the corpora cavernosa. RESULTS: Surgery demonstrated complete rupture of the deep dorsal vein of the penis, which was repaired. Examination showed no injury to the corpora cavernosa. CONCLUSIONS: Early surgical management is advocated in acute penis, since it will permit us to make the correct diagnosis and treat the underlying cause to avoid future sequelae. Rupture of the deep dorsal vein of the penis is another condition that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute penis. Its clinical features are similar to those of cavernosal rupture. Ultrasound and cavernosography are not diagnostic.

[Giant calcifications of a double-J ureteral catheter]. / Calcificaciones gigantes de cateter ureteral doble J.

We present a case of recurring gigantic calcifications of both extreme of a double-J ureteral catheter, with long permanency of the same. We expose the technical maneuvers that were specified for the managing of so important complication. We emphasize the renal functional conservation found in spite of the magnitude of the calcifications. We check the national literature in this regard of this complication and we expose the etiological mechanisms, prophylactic recommendations and therapeutic managing of this complication to the extended use of ureteral catheters.
