Abstract
Presentamos el caso de un niño de 6 años con una lesión peneana provocada por la inclusión de un perdigón en el cuerpo cavernoso, debido a un disparo accidental. El manejo conservador con la extracción programada del perdigón y la reparación del cuerpo cavernoso, permitó un resultado satisfactorio, en mejores condiciones anatómicas. El paciente no sufrió ninguna complicación postoperatoria. Los accidentes por armas de aire comprimido son especialmente importantes en niños, debido a que estas armas son erróneamente con
sideradas como juguetes. Lesiones por armas de aire comprimido en cabeza, cuello y tórax han sido publicadas con frecuencia, pero estas lesiones en el área genitourinaria de los niños, son raras.
We report on a 6-year old child with a penile injury resulting in the inclusion of a pellet in the cavernous body, by a fortuitous shot. Conservative approach with elective extraction of the bullet and cavernous body repair led to a satisfactory result, in better anatomic conditions. The patient did not have any perioperative complication. Accidents by air weapons are particularly important in children, because these weapons are erroneously considered as toys. Air gun injuries to head, neck and thorax have been often published, but these injuries are rare in the chidren genitourinary area.
