Fournier gangrene is a serious infectious disease with high mortality
and morbidity rates characterized by rapidly progressive skin
necrosis. Immediate debridement of infected necrotic tissue and
broad spectrum antibiotic therapy are the main principles of the
treatment. Size of the debrided area, advanced age, colorectal
predisposition and renal insufficiency are the factors affecting the
mortality. In this case report, we present a rare case of Fournier
gangrene caused by migration of foreign body from rectum to
bladder.
