Abstract

In a patient with diabetic microangiopathy and renal disease, penile necrosis occurred in connection with clean intermittent catheterization. Microangiopathy of the urethral and penile arteries presumably lowered the local defences, so that the catheterization initiated penile necrotic changes by introducing bacteria and traumatizing the poorly vascularized urethral epithelium.
