Cavernous body fracture is a rare urological emergency. Its association with complete rupture of the urethra remains exceptional. This is a report of simultaneous penile fracture and complete rupture of the urethra following a misstep in coitus. It is about a 41-year-old young adult, admitted to the surgical emergency department of the University Hospital of Bouaké on March 2, 2020 for penile pain associated with acute retention of urine. The clinical examination confirmed the diagnosis of a corpus cavernosa fracture associated with a ruptured urethra. The patient underwent cystostomy, right cavernoraphy and urethrorrhaphy. The postoperative follow-up was straightforward and the patient was discharged from the hospital on D3 postoperatively. The urethral catheter was removed on D21 postoperatively. With a follow-up of 1 year, the patient presents a good erection and does not report any voiding disorder.
