Abstract

Isolated penile necrosis is a rare entity, its main causes are diabetes mellitus and chronic renal failure. Only two cases related with urethral catheterization have been published in the literature. We present a case of penile necrosis in a patient with a Foley catheter, the possible role of the catheter in the etiology and its management are discussed.
