Abstract
Intracorporeal needle breakage during intracavernous self-injection of vasoactive drugs in the treatment of erection disorders represents an unusual complication. This article presents a case of intracorporeal needle breakage during self-injection in a 50-year-old man. Our case allowed an immediate removal of the needle by manipulation, without resorting to surgery or delayed retrieval.
