paraphimosis [‚par·ə·fə′mō·səs]
(medicine) Retraction and constriction, especially of the prepuce behind the glans penis. Also known as Spanish collar. Retraction of the eyelid behind the eyeball. Paraphimosis strangulation of the glans penis by the internal layer of the prepuce that usually occurs when the prepuce is forcibly retracted from the glans. Predisposing conditions are phimosis, balanitis, and scarring of gonorrheal or chancroid ulcers along the edges of the prepuce. Constriction by the preputial ring gives rise to circulatory disturbances in the glans penis and in the internal layer of the prepuce. The glans and prepuce may undergo partial necrosis and, occasionally, become gangrenous. The treatment for paraphimosis is surgery. Prevention includes hygienic care of the prepuce and surgical correction of phimosis. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | Orovan (1988), the plaintiff underwent a circumcision to relieve paraphimosis, a condition whereby the foreskin becomes trapped behind the corona and forms a tight band of constricting tissue. Among noninfectious cases, granulomatous perichondritis of the nasal ala, sarcoidlike foreign body reaction from multiple piercing, paraphimosis from a distal penis pierce, and speech impairment, together with difficulty in chewing and swallowing from oral jewelry, have been reported (1,2,9,10). After all, phimosis and paraphimosis (the latter being a conditio in which, according to one surgical textbook, "the prepuce gets behind the corona glandis, threatening the strangulation of the organ") were thought to predispose boys to impotence and sterility. |
