ABSTRACT
Acquired penile curvatures (APC) along the penile shaft which develop on a previously normal-looking penis have various etiologies. Most acquired deviations are the result of Peyronie’s disease. However, with the introduction of intracavernosal injections for the management of erectile dysfunction, deviations caused by these injections began to be seen. In APC the common finding is the fibrotic tissue which develops in different parts of the tunica albuginea, corpora cavernosa, or corpus spongiosum, resulting in a loss of elasticity in these parts and causing a bending in the penis during erections. Apart from Peyronie’s disease, accidental or iatrogenic traumas, or chronic inflammatory diseases of the urethra which may cause spongiofibrosis, are the additional reasons for development of APC.1
