SUMMARY
The condition known as Fournier's gangrene is reviewed and the criteria necessary for diagnosis of this lesion are enumerated.
A case illustrative of the condition is described.
The retiology is discussed and the theory advanced that the disease may be caused by Stupk. aureusand an anaerobic streptococcus acting in symbiosis.
We present a case of pancreatitis with secondary pseudoaneurysm formation in a branch of the hepatic artery, which fistulated into the common bile duct following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. This aneurysm manifested itself clinically with recurrent haematemesis, and was treated by embolisation of the anterior and posterior branches of the right hepatic artery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
