Abstract
Fournier's gangrene is a fasciitis of the perineum, due to an acute bacterial infection necrotic bacterial infection of the soft parts of the perineum, by aerobic and anaerobic germs, with a severe prognosis with spontaneous evolution towards visceral failure and death. Although its etiologies remain unresolved, the urinary and anal outlets remain the main entry point. We report in this article an exceptional complication of an appendectomy in a 50-year-old non-diabetic patient whose immediate postoperative course was marked by the development of a Fournier’s gangrene.
