ABSTRACT: Urogenital impalement trauma is a particular form of penetrating trauma to the pelvis. They are rare, spectacular or dramatic because they can be responsible for serious vascular and/or visceral lesions. This study reports a case of hypogastric impalement in a 19-year-old young man that caused musculoaponeurotic and urogenital lesions. Emergency surgical exploration was carried out urgently by a multidisciplinary team.
