Fournier’s Gangrene in a Non-Diabetic Female Presenting with Severe Hypoglycemia: A Case Report
Fournier's gangrene (FG) is an uncommon and life-threatening necrotizing fasciitis affecting the perineum and genital region. This condition typically involves polymicrobial infection of the deep soft tissues and fascial planes. FG occurs more frequently in diabetic patients due to impaired immune function, hyperglycemia, microvascular complications, peripheral neuropathy, or genital and urinary infections. In this case, it is observed that it can also develop in a non-diabetic individual, presenting a considerable diagnostic and treatment challenge.
