title: [Fournier's syndrome: diagnostic and therapeutic assessment].
abstract: Fournier's syndrome is a disorder involving perineum and scrotum caused by invasive anorectal infection. Aerobic and anaerobic bacteraemia can lead to septic toxicity. Hence the importance of the multidisciplinary treatment and urgent surgical procedures including drainage and necrotic tissue removal is stressed. A case of Fournier's syndrome is reported.
