    Abstract

    INTRODUCTION:

    Fournier's gangrene is characterized by tissue ischemia leading to rapidly progressing necrotizing fasciitis.

    CASE PRESENTATION:

    We present the case of a patient with Fournier's gangrene after third-degree burns. Clinical manifestations, laboratory results and treatment options are discussed.

    CONCLUSION:

    Fournier's gangrene is a surgical emergency. Although it can be lethal, it is still a challenging situation in the field of surgical infections.
