| | Jamaica Gleaner News - Deformities of the adult erect penis - Wednesday | November 8, 2006 |
 | | Acquired abnormal curvature of the erect penis presents in adulthood, and when it arises spontaneously without any obvious prior trauma to the penis (for example, a fracture of the penis) is known as Peyronie's disease, named after Francois de la Peyronie, French surgeon to Louis XVI, who first described it. |
| | These variations in shape of the erect penis are all considered normal and do not interfere with intercourse although certain coital positions may be favoured depending on the particular angle of the erection. |
| | Angular deformity of the erect penis develops when there is a focal area of scarring of the tunica albuginea resulting in tethering of one of the chambers, thereby, preventing it from maximally expanding. |
