The use of infrared thermographic imaging in the diagnosis of human illness is discussed from the point of view of its historical development and its multiple uses to the present time. Future goals for its use are outlined. Several case histories are presented documenting the use of thermography in post traumatic cephalalgia.

The extent of the scrotal defect following debridement of Fournier gangrene ranges from relatively small areas of scrotal loss to complete denudation of the testes and cords. In our experience, denudation of the testis alone is best treated by split-thickness mesh grafts and total denudation of the testis and cord by burial of the testicle in a subcutaneous medial thigh pocket. Three cases are presented illustrating the spectrum of methods that can be used either singly or in combination to repair scrotal defects in Fournier gangrene.
