Abstract

Air rifle, although considered as a toy, can cause injuries ranging from trivial to very grievous. The severity of injuries depends on the type of air rifle, the distance of firing, and the anatomic site at which the bullet hits. We present a case involving a young boy, who was accidently hit by an air rifle while playing. The Bullet penetrated the penis through the glans to be lodged in between the distal extremities of the corpus cavernosum behind the urethra. The surgical treatment was performed and the results were good.
