Impression
Fourniers gangrene vs scrotal abscess R inguinal extra-abdominal abscess with
eneterocutaneous fistula secondary to Crohn’s disease
Anterior abdominal wall abscess secondary to Crohn’s diease
Multiple enteroenetric fistulas secondary to Crohn’s disease
Adrenal insufficiency
Procedure
Emergent scrotal exploration Scrotal debridement R inguinal abscess debridement Drain placement
Post operative diagnosis
Fourniers gangrene of the scrotum
R inguinal extra-abdominal abscess with eneterocutaneous fistula secondary to Crohn’s disease
Cultures pending
Hematuria secondary to foley trauma
Fournier’s disease
Predisposing factors: DM, adrenal insufficiency, immune system disorders, etoh abuse, morbid obesity
10:1 male, age 60-80 Local trauma, paraphimosis, periurethral
extravasation or urine, perirectal or perianal infections, and surgery such as circumcision or herniorrhaphy, strictures with STD’s
Signs symptoms Crepitant ("spongy" to the touch) skin Swelling, blistering of the penis and scrotum Dead and discolored (gray-black) tissue; pus weeping from injury Foul odor Pain out of proportion Dysuria, urethral discharge, and obstructed voiding Marked systemic toxicity out of proportion to the local finding Sepsis; Altered mental status, tachypnea, tachycardia, and temperature greater
than 38.3° C (101° F) or less than 35.6° C (96° F) suggest gram-negative sepsis.
Pathophysiology
Infection arising from skin, urethra, rectum (uterus, bartholin glands in females)
Bacteria spread along the dartos fascia of the scrotum and penis, Colles' fascia of the perineum, and Scarpa's fascia of the anterior abdominal wall
Necrotizing fascitis of the skin and superficial and deep fascia No extension beyond Buck’s facsia that separate muscles and protect
nerves and vessels of the genital area. corpora cavernosa, testicles, and urethra are not usually affected. ~ 95% of the cases, a source identified
Mixed cultures; E. coli, Klebsiella, enterococci and anaerobes ie Bacteroides, Fusobacterium, Clostridium, microaerophilic streptococci
Treatment
Triple antibiotic therapy Intravenous hydration Emergent exploration, debridement to healthy tissue
margins May requires re-exploration in 24 hours +/- bariatric oxygen therapy Orchiectomy rarely required Reconstruction ie. myocutaneous flapsComplications 7-75% (16-40%) mortality Sepsis
