  • Title: Fournier's gangrene in a child with congenital genitourinary anomalies.
    Author: Cundy TP, Boucaut HA, Kirby CP.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 2012 Apr; 47(4):808-11. PubMed ID: 22498402.
    Abstract:
    Fournier's gangrene is a rare urologic emergency in childhood that requires prompt diagnosis to deliver definitive and supportive care. Host susceptibility risk factors differ between adult and pediatric age groups with affected children usually otherwise systemically healthy. We present a case of Fournier's gangrene in a 2-year-old, from a genitourinary source of sepsis secondary to previously unreported genitourinary anatomical anomalies of congenital buried penis and hypospadias. Illustrative applied anatomy identifies the pathogenesis of this case, aiding recognition and understanding of this rapidly progressive and destructive pathology.
