Fournier's Gangrene in Patient With Uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes

Fournier Gangrene Clinical Trial

Official title:
Fournier's Gangrene as a Rare Complication in Patient With Uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes Treated With Surgical Debridement: a Case Report and Literature Review

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

A 66-year-old man, with a history of uncontrolled type 2 diabetes, obesity with BMI 38, chronic kidney failure and chronic heart failure, was admitted to the Emergency Department with a large area of necrosis involving the perineal and perianal regions.

Clinical Trial Description

Fournier's gangrene is a potentially fatal emergency condition, supported by an infection of perineal and perianal region, characterized by necrotizing fasciitis with a rapid spread to fascial planes. FG, usually due to compromised host, may be sustained by many microbial pathogens. A 66-year-old man, with a history of uncontrolled type 2 diabetes, obesity with BMI 38, chronic kidney failure and chronic heart failure, was admitted to the Emergency Department with a large area of necrosis involving the perineal and perianal regions. ;
