Abstract

Necrotizing fasciitis is a life-threatening soft tissue infection characterized by progressive necrosis of the skin, subcutaneous tissues and fascia. Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a serious and aggressive form of infective necrotizing fasciitis involving perineal region and genitalia. Presently described are 2 pediatric cases of FG with widespread necrosis of surrounding tissue following anorectal surgery, causing severe septic shock. Case 1: Six-month-old female patient with anal stenosis and duplication presented at emergency clinic with fever, somnolence, irritability, and feeding difficulty. Physical examination upon admission to Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with septic shock determined she had ecchymosis in anal region. At 12fth hour after admission, lesion had become necrotic and patient was started on broad-spectrum antibiotics after surgical debridement. Cultures were negative and patient had complete recovery 2 months after admission. Case 2: Nine-month-old male patient was admitted to ICU for convulsions and sepsis eight hours after fistulectomy. Scrotal, gluteal, and perianal edema and ecchymosis were observed on physical examination. Perianal debridement and colostomy were performed, and patient was given broad-spectrum antibiotics after basic life support strategies for septic shock. Complete recovery was achieved after hyperbaric oxygen treatment for perianal lesion and patient was discharged from the hospital in third month after admission. After anorectal surgery, every patient should be observed carefully for FG. Early debridement, proper antibiotics, and hyperbaric oxygen treatment can be life-saving.

Özet

Nekrotizan fasiit, deri, subkutan dokular ve fasyaların ilerleyici nekrozu ile karakterize, yaşamı tehdit eden bir yumuşak doku enfeksiyonudur. Fournier gangreni (FG), perianal ve genital bölgenin tutulduğu nekrotizan fasitin ciddi ve agresif bir şeklidir. Burada anorektal cerrahi sonrası çevre dokuda yaygın nekroz gelişen ve septik şoka neden olan iki FG olgusu sunuldu. Olgu 1: Öyküsünde anal darlık ve duplikasyon yapılan altı aylık kız hasta ateş, uykuya meyil ve emmeme yakınmaları ile başvurdu. Fiziksel incelemede anal bölgede ekimoz olan hasta septik şok bulgularıyla yoğun bakım ünitesi'ne (YBÜ) alındı. Uygun antibiyotik tedavisi başlanan hastanın on iki saat içerisinde lezyonun nekrotik hale gelmesi üzerine acil cerrahi debridman uygulandı. Kan ve doku kültürleri negatif saptanan hastada başvurudan itibaren iki ay içerisinde tam iyileşme saptandı. Olgu 2: Dokuz aylık erkek hasta fistülotomiden sekiz saat sonra dirençli nöbet ve septik şok bulguları ile YBÜ'ye yatırıldı. Fiziksel incelemede skrotal, gluteal ve perianal bölgede ödem ve ekimoz gözlendi. Septik şoktaki hastaya temel yaşam desteği verildikten sonra geniş spektrumlu antibiyotik tedavisi başlandı ve perianal debridman yapılarak kolostomi açıldı. Tamamen düzelme hiperbarik oksijen tedavisi sonrası başvurunun üçüncü ayında sağlandı. Anoraktal cerrahi uygulanan her hasta FG açısından dikkatle izlenmelidir. Erken debridman, uygun antibiyotik tedavisi ve hiperbarik oksijen tedavisi hayat kurtarıcı olabilir
