Abstract

Congenital penile torsion is a three-dimensional abberation in penile development producing abnormal helical structures of the corpora. We present a case of isolated congenital penile torsion in brothers. This is the first indication of a potential hereditary component in the development of isolated congenital penile torsion in three decades.
