Abstract

Fournier gangrene is a potentially lethal infection affecting the perineum, the perianal region and/or the genitalia, requiring an initial aggressive approach in the emergency department to generate a positive impact on morbidity and mortality. We completed a literature review emphasizing the approach and the initial management in the emergency department.
