RESUMEN

La Gangrena de Fournier es una forma de fasceitis necrotizante que produce destrucción fulminante del tejido, síntomas sistémicos de toxicidad y una alta tasa de mortalidad. Debe sospecharse en pacientes con fiebre, toxicidad, compromiso de tejidos blandos, con dolor no proporcional a los hallazgos en piel. El diagnóstico certero y el tratamiento apropiado debe incluir intervención quirúrgica temprana y debridamientos quirúrgicos repetidos para definir la extensión de la enfermedad y resecar el tejido necrótico, antibióticos y soporte hemodinámico.
