Fournier's gangrene can still be a life-threatening condition with a high mortality rate. Diagnosis and treatment should be prompt and adequate. Radiological studies may help to define the extent of the disease preoperatively in cases in which this is unclear. Surgery with extensive debridement of all necrotic tissue is the mainstay of treatment.

Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a synergistic polymicrobial gangrenous infection of the perineum, scrotum and penis which is characterised by obliterative endarteritis of the subcutaneous arteries, resulting in gangrene of the subcutaneous tissue and the overlying skin. FG affects all ages and both genders, with a male preponderance.

Fournier’s gangrene: Is it scrotal gangrene?
Advances in Therapy, 2008Fournier's gangrene was originally described as scrotal gangrene in young males. Today, it is generally accepted as synergistic necrotizing fasciitis of perineal, genital, or perianal regions, and the epidemiologic data have changed. However, there are still limited data about females due to the lack of female patients, even in large case series.A ...

FOURNIER'S GANGRENE OF THE SCROTUM
International Journal of Dermatology, 1975ABSTRACT: Gangrene involving the male genitalia is extremely rare. It may occur without any predisposing cause. This necrotic process passes through various stages, and is self‐limited. No radical surgical procedure is indicated. A case of typical Fournier's gangrene of the scrotum is presented.

Fournier's gangrene is a fulminant, necrotizing soft-tissue infection of the genital, perineal, and perianal regions. Fournier's isolated to the penis is a rare occurrence due the highly vascular nature of the penis. Reported occurrences of penile Fournier's gangrene have occurred in the setting of a clear vascular or traumatic insult.

Fournier's gangrene is the result of a highly lethal and rapidly progressive necrotizing infection of the perineal and genital fascia, with gangrene of the overlying skin. The infection is generally polymicrobial and probably synergistic in nature. Anorectal, genitourinary, and traumatic infections are the most common causes of Fournier's gangrene. The

Fourniers gangrene in children
Urology, 1990Necrotizing fasciitis of the genitalia is a rare urologic emergency that is especially uncommon in children. We report a case of Fournier's gangrene in a four-year-old boy and analyze the data from 55 previously reported cases. Pediatric cases have been successfully managed with a more conservative surgical approach and have had a significantly lower ...

Fournier gangrene is a necrotizing infection involving the soft tissues of the male genitalia. It was first described in 1764 by Baurienne and given its eponymous name after Jean-Alfred Fournier in 1883 presented a case of perineal gangrene in an otherwise healthy young man.
