Moldenhauer describes the case of a farmer of fifty-seven who was injured in a runaway accident, a wheel passing over his body close to the abdomen.
The glans penis could not be recognized, since the penis in toto had been torn from its sheath at the corona, and had slipped or been driven into the inguinal region.
