AB A  paraphimosis  is  defined  as  the  inability  to  reduce  a  proximally  positioned  foreskin  over  the  glans  penis  and  back  to  its  normal  anatomic  position.1  The  most  common  cause  for  a  paraphimosis  is  iatrogenic.  Medical  personnel  may  forget  to  reduce  the  foreskin  over  the  glans  following  examination  or  instrumentation  of  the  penis.  This  is  particularly  true  in  patients  who  are  sedated,  confused,  demented,  or  delirious.
