Renal/GU - Fournier Gangrene
Caption
A patient presented for worsening, severe scrotal pain. Point-of-care ultrasound demonstrated a normal appearing testicle with an associated hydrocele. Significant ring down artifact is visualized posterior producing a “dirty shadow”. The patient was taken to the operating room where the ring down artifact was confirmed as significant subcutaneous air associated with a necrotizing infection.
