Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine

CHAPTER XIII
49/104

The ball entered near the center of the glans penis, and taking a slightly oblique direction, it passed out of the right side of the penis 1 1/2 inches beyond the glans; it then entered the scrotum, and after striking the pelvis near the symphysis, glanced off around the innominate bone, and finally made its exit two inches above the anus.

The after-effects of this injury were incontinence of urine, and inability to assume the erect position.
Bookey cites the case of six wounds from one bullet with recovery.

The bullet entered the sole and emerged from the dorsum of the foot.

It then went through the right buttock and came out of the groin, only to penetrate the dorsum of the penis and emerge at the upper part of the glans.

Rose speaks of a case in which a man had his clothes caught in machinery, drawing in the external genital organs.
