[Fournier's gangrene: computerized tomography findings].
OBJECTIVE
To describe a case of Fournier's gangrene. The CT findings confirmed the diagnosis and showed the extent of the lesion.


RESULTS
A young, male alcoholic developed Fournier's gangrene after an episode of urinary tract infection. The extent of the lesion observed on CT correlated with the surgical findings.


CONCLUSIONS
CT evaluation of patients with Fournier's gangrene is advocated. In the case described herein, the extent of the lesion observed on CT correlated with the surgical findings.
