Rapid Fournier's gangrene diagnosis by ultrasound

Fungal Fourniers Gangrene in an Immunocompromised Patient

Fournier's Gangrene is a rapidly progressive necrotizing fasciitis of the groin, perianal and perineal region that is often polymicrobial in nature, often averaging 3 species of bacteria per patient. The typical infection can be due to a host of microbes, including gram positive, gram negative and anaerobic species including. Many of the causative organisms are found in the normal microbial flo...

Diagnosis of Fournier’s Gangrene on Bedside Ultrasound

A previously healthy 48 year-old male presented to the hospital with a 4-week history of “pimples” on his scrotum. This condition had progressively worsened, resulting in increased pain, swelling and redness to the genital region and buttocks. On physical examination, the patient was persistently tachycardic. The scrotum, penis, perineum and left buttock were erythematous, swollen and markedly ...

Choledocholithiasis: diagnosis by ultrasound.

The ultrasound findings of 100 patients with chloedocholithiasis documented by cholangiography and/or surgery were reviewed retrospectively. Common duct stones were detected in 45% of patients. This detection rate which is comparable with most series confirmed the lack of reliability of ultrasound in the diagnosis of choledocholithiasis. All the stones detected were in dilated common ducts. The...
