AbstractKlingsor syndrome or self-Inflicted traumatic penile amputation is a rare clinical entity that is associated with psychiatric disorders, command hallucinations, religious preoccupations, substance abuse, and isolation from or neglect by society. In addition to being infrequently encountered, it is a rare surgical emergency, with paucity of data on appropriate and timely management to ensure optimal functional outcomes. We report the case of a 25-year-old unmarried male who inflicted this injury upon himself in a fit of paranoia as a way to expiate his sins and earn solace from God. An attempt at microvascular re-implantation 12 h after the injury was successful, with adequate cosmetic and functional outcomes obtained. Thus, in this rare disease, despite a delay in presentation, a single attempt at re-implantation may still be worthwhile for obtaining optimal cosmetic and psychosocial benefits.
