Abstract
Fournier's gangrene is a rare and serious form of necrotising fasciitis. It has a high morbidity and mortality rate, requiring rapid and energetic multidisciplinary medical and surgical management. Initial treatment is based on resuscitation combined with surgical debridement. Secondly, the major problem remains healing and the after-effects that patients retain. Several therapeutic modalities are currently available to improve and accelerate healing. The prognosis and healing time depend essentially on the qualitý of the treatment but also on the extent of the necrosis. The other elements that condition the prognosis being the patient's terrain and the origin of the gangrene. We report a case of Fournier's gangrene in a 59-year-old diabetic patient who had benefited from medical and surgical treatment and had a favourable outcome.
