Urethral injuries occur in 4% of urological traumas and cause serious morbidity. Urethral injuries are more common in men due to the length of the urethra and the less anatomic mobility. Urethra injuries can occur as motor vehicle accidents, penetrant injuries such as firearms or knives, injuries caused by urethral procedures, and spontaneous injuries caused by urethral strictures. A 20-year-old male patient was brought to the emergency room after an in-car traffic accident. His trauma was a minor one and he has not had any life threatening injuries. Physical examination revealed scrotal swelling and hemorrhage at external urethral opening. At retrograde urethrography, rupture was seen at the level of bulbos urethra. Urethral ruptures may accur through minor traumas due to car accidents. If there is urethral injury suspicion at physical examination, urethral imaging should be done.
