Özet

Fournier's gangrene is an uncommon, potentially lethal and rapidly progressive necrotizing infection of perineum and genitalia. Early and prompt diagnosis of this synergistic infection is essential for institution of appropriate surgical and medical treatment. Here, we report the imaging findings of a case of Fournier's gangrene diagnosed preoperatively with sonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). © 2004 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
