Abstract
Herein, we describe a case of a 14-year-old boy with straddle injury to the base of the penis, sustained during an indoor rock climbing accident, who presented with severe urethraggia. Urethral injury was confirmed with retrograde urethrography. The patient became hemodynamically unstable from persistent blood loss, and corporal arterial injury was diagnosed on computed tomography angiography. The urethraggia was successfully controlled with angioembolization. The unique aspects of this case were the challenges in establishing the diagnosis on the background of the abnormal presentation of vascular injury of blood loss as opposed to painless priapism.
