Résumé
Fournier's gangrene is a potentially fatal emergency condition, supported by an infection of perineal and perianal region, characterized by necrotizing fasciitis with a rapid spread to fascial planes. FG, usually due to compromised host, may be sustained by many microbial pathogens. A 66-year-old man, with a history of uncontrolled type 2 diabetes, obesity with BMI 38, chronic kidney failure and chronic heart failure, was admitted to the Emergency Department with a large area of necrosis involving the perineal and perianal regions. Fournier's gangrene is favoured by hypertension, obesity, chronic alcoholism, renal and heart failure. Generally, Fournier's gangrene needs other procedures in addition to wound debridement such as colostomy, cystostomy, or orchiectomy. We report a case of FG found as complication in a patient with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes, treated with effective combination therapy with surgical debridement and antibiotics infusion.
