Abstract in brief

Fournier gangrene is a rapidly progressing, life-threatening necrotizing infection affecting the genital and perineal regions, often requiring urgent diagnosis and treatment.
Imaging, particularly emergency CT scans, plays a crucial role in early diagnosis by revealing features like fascial thickening, subcutaneous emphysema, and fluid collections, which help determine the extent of the infection.
Prompt treatment involves broad-spectrum antibiotics and surgical removal of dead tissue, and awareness of CT imaging features is essential for timely diagnosis and effective management.
