Abstract

MRI has only recently been described in the evaluation of traumatic rupture of the corpora cavernosa. Our case report emphasises the perfect correlation between the MRI findings and the anatomical lesion. This examination therefore constitutes a valuable aid in the pretreatment assessment of rupture of the corpora cavernosa.
