Abstract

This case report discusses penile strangulation caused by a ball bearing of a fidget spinner in a 9 year - old child. Initial examination revealed a 2 cm x 2 cm metallic ball bearing encircling the base of the penis with gross edema of the distal penile shaft and erythematous penile skin. To release the bearing, a modified string method was used. After removal, skin erosion was treated with debridement and applied with hydrocolloid dressing. Analysis and cross referencing of the case with literature suggest that successful extraction of a constricting object and treatment of penile strangulation, due to the varied nature, causes and effects of penile strangulation, greatly depends on immediate diagnosis and treatment. This spares one from immediate and long term complications, or necrosis with subsequent auto-amputation.
