Abstract EN
Ischemia of the glans penis is a rare postcircumcision complication.
We describe a four-year-old boy developing ischemia of the glans penis 48 h after circumcision.
The ischemia completely resolved following treatment with iv pentoxifylline (PTX) for six days, and the patient was discharged without any problems.
PTX treatment should be kept in mind as an alternative treatment modality in ischemia of the glans penis which is a serious potential post-circumcision complication.
