Overview
Ultrasound
On ultrasound, Fournier gangrene is characterized by:[1][2]
- Thickened scrotal wall
- Echogenic gas foci in scrotum pathognomonic (seen as dirty shadowing)
- Testes and epididymi spared (due to their separate blood supply)
- Reactive unilateral or bilateral hydroceles are present
- Differentiate Fournier gangrene from inguinoscrotal incarcerated hernia (In inguinoscrotal incarcerated hernia gas is observed in the obstructed bowel lumen, away from the scrotal wall)
