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 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

Summary— Twenty‐five cases of gangrene of the scrotum and penis have been analysed. The anterior scrotum or the whole scrotum were the areas most frequently involved. The results of seminal analyses showed marked oligozoospermia during the infective period.

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 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 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.

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 or synergistic gengrene of scrotum and penis is a relatively rare but serious condition which can occur in any general or hospital practice. Early diagnosis with prompt aggressive treatment including antibiotics and surgical debridement are necessary to achieve patient survival.
