Abstract

Aphallia or complete absence of penis is a rare disorder, often associated with other congenital anomalies of the genitourinary and gastrointestinal systems. This disorder is difficult to manage and has a very significant psychosocial impact on the child as well as the family. Individualized assessment and formulation of management plan is important.
