RESUMEN
The Fournier Gangrene (FG) is a synergistic, polymicrobial, necrotizing fasciitis with infectious origin that produces gangrene of the perineal, genital or perianal skin. The number bigger than cases happens between 20 at 50 years, the males are affected more than the females in proportion 10:1 and the mortality rate is high yet. The clinical manage of the GF must be fast and opportune with intravenous application of fluids, electrolytes and systemic broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy; and avoid the hemodynamic stabilization of the patient before the surgery. The precocious surgery with debridement of the necrotizing tissues constitutes the main objective of the treatment.

La Gangrena de Fournier (GF) es una fascitis necrotizante sinérgica, multimicrobiana, de origen infeccioso, que produce gangrena de piel de región genital, perineal, o perianal. Su mayor frecuencia se observa en pacientes de 20 a 50 años, los varones se afectan más que las hembras en proporción 10:1 y la tasa de mortalidad aún es alta. El manejo clínico debe ser rápido y oportuno, con aplicación intravenosa de líquidos, electrolitos y antibióticos de amplio espectro; a fin de lograr la estabilización hemodinámica del paciente antes de la intervención quirúrgica. La cirugía precoz con debridamiento extenso de tejidos desvitalizados, constituye la base principal del mismo
