Bathing suit mesh entrapment: an unusual case of penile injury

Eric C Hoppa et al. Pediatr Emerg Care. 2006 Dec.

Abstract

Penile injury is a rare chief complaint in the pediatric emergency department. The most common penile injuries are iatrogenic or postsurgical complications, blunt trauma, tourniquet injuries, fractures, and zipper injuries. We report a series of 3 cases of penile foreskin entrapment within the mesh lining of bathing suits as a new, recognized form of penile injury.
