Trauma to the external genitalia by tearing is rare. We report the case
of a 30-year-old patient, admitted to the emergency room for trauma of the
external genitalia by traction following a blow and intentional injury. The authors highlight the lesions that can occur during
this type of trauma and insist on the systematic search for urethral and
cavernous lesions. Conclusion: Trauma to the external genitalia by
intentional assault and battery is rare in our context. They occur most
often in a young person and are frequently associated with damage to the
corpora cavernosa and urethra.
