Classification & external resources | | | A human penis with chordee in both flaccid and fully erect states. | | ICD-10 | N48.8 (ILDS N48.83), Q54.4 | | ICD-9 | 752.63 | Chordee is a condition in which the penis curves downward (that is, in a ventral direction)or upward. The curvature is usually most obvious during erection, but resistance to straightening is often apparent in the flaccid state as well. In many cases but not all, chordee is associated with hypospadias. Image File history File links Question_book-3. ...

Presentation
It is usually considered a congenital malformation of unknown cause. Since at an early stage of fetal development the penis is curved downward, it has been proposed that chordee results from an arrest of penile development at that stage. A congenital disorder is a medical condition that is present at birth. ...
The curvature of a chordee can involve
- tethering of the skin with urethra and corpora of normal size;
- curvature induced by fibrosis and contracture of the fascial tissue (Buck's fascia or dartos) surrounding the urethra;
- disproportionately large corpora in relation to the urethral length without other demonstrable abnormality of either; or
- a short, fibrotic urethra that tethers the penis downward (the least common type).
Severe degrees of chordee are usually associated with hypospadias, but mild degrees of curvature may occur in many otherwise normal males. When the curved penis is small and accompanied by hypospadias, deficiency of prenatal androgen effect can be inferred.

Treatment The principal treatment of chordee is surgery in infancy,[1] usually by a pediatric urologist. Pediatric urology is a surgical subspecialty of medicine dealing with the disorders of childrens genitourinary systems. ...
The preferred time for surgery is between the ages of 6 and 18 months, before the child develops castration and body image anxiety.
Correction is usually successful.
