Popis: The usefulness of ultrasound in the detection of Fournier's gangrene in the early stages is described herein.We discuss the clinical course of the patient with scrotal inflammation of a torpid course suspected as Fournier's gangrene on the ultrasound findings.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.
