Abdomen Sonography: Penile Abnormalities - Video Lesson

Hey everyone, welcome back to our lessons in abdominal extended ultrasound. In today's lesson we'll take a closer look at Penile Abnormalities. We'll walk through the anatomy, clinical relevance, and characteristic sonographic appearances of each condition to help you build confidence in recognizing and evaluating these pathologies during ultrasound examinations. Let's get started! First, let's begin with a quick review of penile anatomy. The penis is composed of three cylindrical structures: two corpora cavernosa, located dorsally, and a single corpus spongiosum, ventrally, which surrounds the urethra.

Now, we will start with learning about Peyronie's disease, a condition where fibrous plaques form within the tunica alboginia of the penis. These plaques can cause penile curvature, pain,
