Abstract

A 3-year-old boy had his penis amputated by being bitten by a neglected psychiatric individual and presented late with urethral stricture. Initially, he had suprapubic diversion of urine and later meatoplasty. A plea is made for vigilance with children and appropriate care of individuals with psychiatric problems.
