Abstract

Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a rare aggressive necrotising fasciitis of the genitalia. We present a FG case following traumatic urethral catheterization in spinal cord injury patient with suspected bladder cancer. We want to emphasize that bedside cystoscopy can be needed for deciding what we will do when the FG patient has concomitant suspected bladder cancer and that urethral catheterisation should be performed by expert hands.

Özet

Fournier gangreni (FG), genital bölgenin nadir fakat agresif seyreden nekrotizan fasiitidir. Şüpheli mesane kanseri olan spinal kord hasarlı hastada travmatik üretral kateterizasyonu takiben oluşan FG vakası sunmaktayız. Eşzamanlı mesane kanseri şüphesi olan bir FG hastasında ne yapacağımıza karar vermek için yatakbaşı sistoskopinin gerekebileceğini ve üretral kateterizasyonun uzman eller tarafından uygulanmasının iyi olacağını vurgulamak istedik.
