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

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 (FG) is a rare but life threatening disease. Although originally thought to be an idiopathic process, FG has been shown to have a predilection for patients with diabetes as well as long term alcohol misuse; however, it can also affect patients with non-obvious immune compromise.

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 a synergistic polymicrobial necrotizing fasciitis of the perineum and genitalia. It can progress to a fulminant soft tissue infection that spreads rapidly along the fascial planes, causing necrosis of the skin, subcutaneous soft tissue, and fascia, with associated systemic sepsis. If it is not diagnosed early and treated promptly,

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.

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'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 ...
