Abstract
|
|
|
|
Necrotizing fasciitis has been recognized as a potentially lethal and rapidly progressing infection. Necrotizing fasciitis of head and neck area is rare but fatal disease that should be prompt diagnosis and recognition. If not promptly recognized and treated, infection can spread into the deep spaces of the neck and compromise the airway. It may also spread into the mediastimum producing life threatening sepsis. In this report, we describe the treatment of 4 cases of necrotizing fasciitis of head and neck area and discuss diagnosis, treatment, complication and consideration with review of literatures.
