Two cases of the Fournier's Gangrene
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
In 1883 Fournier described 5 patients with unexplained fulminating gangrene of the male genitalia. Fournier emphasized three characteristic : (1) abrupt onset in a young health male, (2) rapid progression to gangrene, (3) absence of a discernible
cause.
As currently used by many authors, Fournier's gangrene describes a widely destructive, agngrenous process of the genitalia, with little regard for Fournier's original tenets of patient's age or definable etiology. We report two cases of
Fournier's
gangrene with brief review of the literature.
