dc.description.abstract	Klingsor Syndrome is an infrequent Surgical and Psychiatric emergency. We present such a case of self-penile amputation with delayed presentation precluding re-plantation. A 48 year-old man on follow-up for Schizophrenia presented 16 hours after peripubic self-penile amputation. Patient was managed by stump-plasty with an option for subsequent perineal urethrostomy. Anatomically, there are three levels of penile amputation: peri-pubic like in our case, proximal shaft and glans. Surgical options are re-plantation, stump-plasty and total penile reconstruction. Complications following re-plantation include urethral stricture, urethral fistula, and diminished sexual function. Concomitant Psychiatric care is paramount.	en_US
