Resumen

Presentamos un caso de necrosis de la piel del pene en un paciente con incontinencia por vejiga neurógena secundaria a lesión medular traumática. Ésta se produjo como consecuencia de un exceso de presión provocado por un colector urinario. Presentamos el caso considerando que este tipo de complicaciones son poco frecuentes, siendo escasas las referencias en la literatura sin embargo dada la elevada frecuencia de pacientes incontinentes que emplean este tipo de dispositivos, es necesario conocer las posibles consecuencias derivadas de un uso incorrecto de los mismos.

Palabras clave:
Necrosis piel de pene
Colector de orina
Vejiga neurógena por lesión medular
Abstract

We illustrate a case of penile skin necrosis in a patient suffering from urinary incontinence caused by a secondary neurogenic bladder that, in turn, results from a spinal cord injury. The skin necrosis developed out of continuous pressure from the condom catheter. We report the case bearing into consideration that these complications are extremely rare and that references in the literature to the topic are likewise scarce. However, due to the high frequency of patients suffering from incontinence who use these devices, we believe it necessary to account for the possible consequences which might derive from an incorrect use of them.

Key words:
Penile skin necrosis
Condom catéter
Neurogenic bladder in spinal cord injury
