Fournier's Gangrene and Purulent Peritonitis as a Result of Progressing Ischiorectal Abscess: A Case Report From Muhimbili National Hospital, Tanzania

Abstract

Ischiorectal abscess can rarely progress beyond the anorectal region to cause Fournier's gangrene, supralevator extension, and purulent peritonitis. Early recognition of disease progression, prompt imaging, aggressive surgical source control, and multidisciplinary management are critical to reducing morbidity and mortality in this life-threatening complication.
