| Abstrakt: | Objectives: The usefulness of ultrasound in the detection of Fournier's gangrene in the early stages is described herein. Methods/results: We discuss the clinical course of the patient with scrotal inflammation of a torpid course suspected as Fournier's gangrene on the ultrasound findings. Conclusions: The use of ultrasound in cases with acute scrotal inflammation of a torpid course as in this case, permits early detection of Fournier's gangrene, a fulminant condition. A review of the literature has shown that the findings described herein have been infrequently reported. |
