Abstract

Background: This case had a 4 years long lasting story of unusual symptoms of penile cold paresthesia and pain, perianal tinglingin addition to severe back pain and physical examination showed Sacroiliac joint dysfunction after  L1 compression fracture. Vertebral compression fracture may usually result low back pain, limited movement, kyphosis, lower extremity  pain, and weakness, urinary dysfunction or urinary incontinence. But the symptoms of the cold paresthesia and  pain of penis as well as perianal tingling are uncommon after L1 compression fracture, it is why we report this case.
