An annoying sequel following this accident is the tendency to curvature in erection, which is sometimes so marked as to interfere with coitus, and even render the patient permanently impotent.
There is an account of a laborer of twenty-seven who, in attempting to micturate with his penis erect, pressed it downward with considerable force and fractured the corpora cavernosa.

Veazie relates a case of fracture of the corpora cavernosa occurring in coitus.

During the act the female suddenly withdrew, and the male, following, violently struck the pubes, with the resultant injury.

Recovery ensued.

M'Clellan speaks of removing the cavernous septum from a man of fifty-two, in whom this part had become infiltrated with lime-salts and resembled a long, narrow bone.
