GANGRENE AND FOURNIER'S GANGRENE
Urologic Clinics of North America, 1992Fournier's gangrene is an aggressive disease affecting the perineum. Clearly, it can no longer by considered idiopathic in its origin, as most infection can be localized to a cutaneous, urethral, or rectal source. It presents in a broad age range and can have an indolent onset, thus requiring a high index of suspicion.

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 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: 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 in Khartoum
British Journal of Urology, 1988Summary— Nine patients with Fournier's gangrene are presented and the relevant literature is reviewed. Fournier's gangrene is secondary to other predisposing conditions, the commonest causes being urethral and perianal sepsis. Local excision and antibiotics are the treatment of choice.

The radiology of Fournier's gangrene
The British Journal of Radiology, 1977In 1884 Fournier described five patients with acute idiopathic gangrene of the scrotum characterized by rapid onset and progression. Approximately 100 cases have been reported. It occurs mainly in healthy men between the ages of 20 and 50 (Burpee and Edward, 1972), but has occurred as early as four months of age (Soong and Whee, 1966).

To describe the clinical course of a cat diagnosed with Fournier's gangrene.A 2-year-old castrated male cat was presented to an emergency hospital for evaluation of acute onset of lethargy, mucoid anal discharge, and fever. During hospitalization, with provision of supportive care, an area of necrotizing fasciitis around the prepuce and anus developed ...

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
