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

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 ...

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).

Fournier's gangrene of the scrotum is an uncommon condition. Its aetiology remains obscure. It has a potentially serious and possibly fatal outcome if not treated quickly and effectively. The following case history demonstrates that a combination of early surgical intervention and intravenous antibiotic therapy will substantially reduce morbidity and ...
