Highlights
Crush penile injury is a developmental hazard to male toddlers during toilet training
A 27-month-old boy sustained superficial lacerations to his penis when he was voiding directly into the toilet bowl and the toilet seat fell onto the external genitalia
Pediatric penile injury associated with toilet training may be preventable with increased parental awareness and substitution of hard wooden and ceramic toilet seats with lighter materials or slow-close technology
Summary
Crush penile injury is a developmental hazard to male toddlers during toilet training. A 27-month-old boy sustained superficial lacerations to his penis when he was voiding directly into the toilet bowl and the toilet seat fell onto the external genitalia. Bruising at the distal end of the penis with a linear proximal border was consistent with the mode injury described by the caretaker. The child recovered spontaneously without any signs of urethral injury or obstruction.
