Abstract:
Fournier gangrene is a disease which primarily affects adults. This finding makes it rarely seen within the pediatric population. Therefore, we feel it convenient to inform of a case of Fournier gangrene which occurred in an eight day old neonate, successfully treated with surgical debridement, the administering of solutions and antibiotics. This is the youngest patient ever described in the medical literature. Neonate; Fournier; gangrene.
