Intracavernous self-injection of pharmacologic agents is an effective method of treatment of erectile dysfunction. Intracorporeal needle breakage is a rare complication of intracavernosal self-injection. We report an unusual case of multiple retained needles in a 44-year-old man who presented with penile edema after intracavernous self-injection complicated by needle breakage. The patient was treated with nonoperative therapy and observed on a course of antibiotics to which he responded favorably. He continued to have good erectile function. We also present a review of the reported data and recommend a treatment strategy for the management of retained intracorporeal needles.
海绵体内自我注射药物制剂是治疗勃起功能障碍的一种有效方法。海绵体内针头折断是海绵体内自我注射罕见的并发症。我们报告了一例不寻常的病例，一名44岁男性在海绵体内自我注射并发生针头折断后出现阴茎水肿，体内残留多根针头。该患者接受了非手术治疗，并接受了一个疗程的抗生素治疗，对此反应良好。他的勃起功能持续良好。我们还对已报道的数据进行了综述，并推荐了一种处理残留海绵体内针头的治疗策略。
