Abstract
|
|
|
|
Necrotizing fasciitis is a soft tissue infection characterized by necrosis of fascia and subcutaneous tissue. It rarely occurs in the craniocervical area but when it does, it can be fatal. Early recognition and prompt intervention are important in minimizing morbidity and mortality rates. We report on a diabetes mellitus patient with periorbital necrotizing fasciitis, which was treated with a combination of intravenous antibiotics and debridement of necrotic tissue and meticulous local wound management.
