Abstract
Objective:
To describe a case of Fournier's gangrene. The CT findings confirmed the diagnosis and showed the extent of the lesion.
Methods/Results:
A young, male alcoholic developed Fournier's gangrene after an episode of urinary tract infection. The extent of the lesion observed on CT correlated with the surgical findings.
Conclusion:
CT evaluation of patients with Fournier's gangrene is advocated. In the case described herein, the extent of the lesion observed on CT correlated with the surgical findings.
