Constrictive Penile Band Injury Color Doppler Sonographic Assessment

Strangulation of the penis is a rare injury, usually seen as a consequence of the placement of penile rings or bands, which are used to increase potency and to prolong erection. Complications related to the use of penile rings or bands have been little reported. We report a case that describes the color Doppler sonographic findings in penile strangulation. The value of color Doppler sonography (CDS) in the clinical management of this injury is worth noting.
