Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Penile curvature,or chordee,is either a ventral or a dorsal curvature of the penis.Curvature is usually congenitally caused by a fibrous band along the usual course of the corpus spongiosum.Ventral chordee is seen mostly with epispadias,when the urethral meatus opens dorsally on the glans.Hypospadias is a condition in which the urethral meatus opens ventrally on the glans.The urethral meatus does not open at the penoscrotal junction or between the scrotal folds.
