BENITEZ GONZALEZ, Yoandra et al. Presentation of a Patient with Fournier Gangrene. ccm [online]. 2015, vol.19, n.3, pp. 556-564. ISSN 1560-4381.

A review on Fournier's gangrene, motivated by the presentation of a case treated at the Coloproctology Service of "Vladimir I. Lenin General Provincial Hospital," Holguin, in 2014 was done. A male patient of 59 years of age diagnosed with this disease in the perianal region fleetingly was spread the external genitals. Emergency surgery was performed, treated with intravenous antibiotics and surgical debridement was performed with left orchiectomy. After the perianal infection was controlled, the patient was reffered to the Urology Department of Lucia Iñiguez Landin Surgical Hospital of Holguin with a stay of 43 days, to control the infection of the genitals; a reconstruction of the crotch region was performed. The patient was discharged for follow-up outpatient consultation. The emergence of this disease is rare, but potentially lethal so once diagnosed the specialists must treat the disease as soon as possible.
