Abstract

We report a case of urethral foreign bodies in a patient with posttraumatic psychiatric disorders. The patient presents with clinical signs of scrotal abscess. Many foreign bodies were removed from the bulbar urethra; one urinary stone formed around one of them required lithotripsy. Treatment included removal of the foreign bodies, abscess drainage, and administration of wide spectrum antibiotics. Urethral foreign bodies are exceptional, and may present with many symptoms making diagnosis difficult. We noted symptoms and diagnosis in our case, and additionally the therapeutic options proposed in the literature.
