Clin Case Rep. 2024 Feb 19;12(2):e8534. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.8534. eCollection 2024 Feb.

Abstract

We present a patient catheterized for prostatic lesions who developed sepsis of urinary origin with a penile cavernosal abscess due to urethral injury caused by catheter ballooning. Urethral injury might lead to a life-threatening penile abscess.

Keywords: cavernosal abscess; sepsis; urinary catheter.
