Opacification of the glans penis during cavernosography.

Cavernosography and cavernometry were performed in 150 impotent patients and 10 normal potent volunteers. Opacification of the glans penis was noted in 5 normal volunteers, while among the impotent patients it was noted in 53 per cent of those with venous leakage and in 36 per cent of those without leakage. We believe that opacification of the glans during cavernosography must be regarded as a normal variant rather than as a sign of pathological shunts between the glans and the corpora cavernosa.
