Fournier's Gangrene With Septic Shock and Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome.
Fournier's gangrene is a rare, rapidly progressing, and life-threatening infection associated with necrotizing fasciitis in the perineal, genital, and/or lower abdominal regions. Septic shock and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome due to the condition are even rarer events. We describe the case of a 58-year-old man who visited the emergency department with severely painful swelling in the scrotal, perianal, and lower abdominal regions. Physical examination combined with computed tomography and clinical findings led to the diagnosis of Fournier's gangrene with septic shock and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Broad-spectrum antibiotics, fluid resuscitation, sedative administration, and several surgeries that included perineum reconstruction were performed successfully, and the patient fully recovered. Comprehensive, timely treatments are critical for treating Fournier's gangrene.
