Abstract
Fournier’s gangrene is a rare, rapidly progressive, necrotizing fasciitis of the external genitalia and perineum. It is predominantly a disease of males but very rarely can occur in females also. It is a surgical emergency. An early diagnosis including evaluation of predisposing and etiological factors, metabolic and physiological parameters with prompt resuscitation, aggressive surgical debridement, broad-spectrum antibiotic coverage, and continuous monitoring of all the parameters is essential for a good outcome. This will reduce the mortality and morbidity of the disease. In this study we are reporting Fournier’s gangrene in a 56 years old diabetic female who was treated successfully with good outcome.
