Conclusions: Pre-surgery examination of patients with penile curvature and any type of deformation must comprise ultrasound and pharmacodopplerography along with the medical history and physical examination. In controversial clinical cases in order to prove or discard possible inflammatory peri-process it is necessary to conduct MRI.
