Abstract

Since Fournier first described the fulminating idiopathic gangrene of the scrotum in 1883 there have been sporadic reports of cases from various parts of the world. The condition is, however, rare in infants. We present here a case of scrotal gangrene following circumcision, in a one month old baby.
