Abstract

 Introduction: Fournier’s Gangrene often begins insidiously, with non specific prodromal symptoms such as malaise and scrotal discomfort. This discomfort progresses into pain, and at this time, the patient may develop blackish discoloration of the skin perianally or of scrotal skin. Methodology: The diagnosis was made on clinical basis, supported by other relevant investigations. Post operative follow up will be done to note the complications both in hospital and after discharge for 6-12 months. Results: Scrotal involvement was found in 29 cases (93.0 percent),perineum in 11 cases (36.66 percent), vulval region in 1 case (3.33 percent), groin in 2 cases (6.66 percent),and abdomen in 1 case (3.33 percent). Conclusion: Scrotal involvement as swelling was more common.

Keywords: Fournier’s Gangrene; Clinical Profile; Scrotal Swelling.
