Necrotizing penile infection following ischemic priapism takedown is a rare complication. A 60-year-old man presented with 1-week history of green and pink purulent discharge, penile swelling, and inability to void. Computed tomography demonstrated gas and fluid accumulation within the corporal bodies, suggestive for bilateral penile necrotizing corporal infection with possibility of intra-corporal abscesses.
