Abstract

Introduction: Severe penile torsion of 180° associated with hypospadias is a rare entity. Knowledge of penile anatomy and pathology are necessary as the diagnosis could be missed.

Case presentation: We report a case of severe 180° penile torsion with distal hypospadias that was mistaken for an epispadias which was corrected with surgery.

Conclusion: Tubularized incised plate urethroplasty and dartos flap rotation provided satisfactory result for this association.

Keywords: dartos flap; hypospadias; penile torsion.
