TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Avulsion injuries of the male external genitalia & rupture of the diaphragm following road traffic accident JO - Journal of forensic and legal medicine A1 - Das, Siddhartha A1 - Kumar, Virendra SP - 380 EP - 382 VL - 18 IS - 8 N2 - Injury to the male external genitalia and rupture of the diaphragm, are two very uncommon autopsy findings. To the best of our knowledge such a combination of injuries has not been reported in one particular case of autopsy in an English scientific literature. Degloving of the male external genitalia & rupture of the diaphragm may result from motor vehicle accidents, industrial accidents, gunshot & stab injuries. A rare case of traumatic degloving injury of the male external genitalia associated with rupture of the diaphragm & intermingling of thoracic & abdominal viscera is presented here.
