Necrotizing Fasciitis, Diagnosis, InfectionAbstract
Necrotizing fasciitis is characterized as a subset of aggressive infections of the skin and soft tissues that cause necrosis of the muscular fascia and subcutaneous tissues. It has a polymicrobial origin and presents an extensive necrosis that exhibits gas formation in the subcutaneous tissue and superficial fascia. The management of infected tissues requires rapid diagnosis, immediate surgical intervention accompanied by extensive debridement and systemic antibiotic therapy. The aim of this paper is to relate a case of an odontogenic necrotizing fasciitis of the cervico-facial region emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and treatment.
