Fournier's gangrene is necrotizing fasciitis involving the penis, scrotum, or perineal region. This condition is associated with a high mortality rate and requires aggressive debridement of necrotic tissues. It is mainly seen in elderly, immune-suppressed, diabetic patients, or patients with long-term urinary catheterization. Isolated penile involvement is very rare due to the rich blood supply of the organ and is thought to be induced by penile trauma with partial involvement of the urethra.In this study, we present a patient with isolated penile and urethral necrosis rather than scrotum and perineum and emphasize its gastrointestinal source.
福尼尔坏疽是一种累及阴茎、阴囊或会阴区域的坏死性筋膜炎。这种疾病死亡率高,需要积极清创坏死组织。它主要见于老年人、免疫抑制患者、糖尿病患者或长期留置导尿管的患者。由于阴茎血供丰富,孤立性阴茎受累非常罕见,被认为是由阴茎外伤伴尿道部分受累引起的。在本研究中,我们报告了一名孤立性阴茎和尿道坏死而非阴囊和会阴坏死的患者,并强调其胃肠道来源。
