Cervical necrotizing fasciitis (CNF) is a rare, but serious condition that can develop as a result of an odontogenic infection spreading into the deep fascial planes of the neck. The infection is associated with significant morbidity and mortality due to septic shock, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and consequent multiple organ failure. A case of CNF affecting a 42-year-old woman who was treated with rapid surgical debridement and intravenous antibiotics is presented. She subsequently required further head and neck reconstruction as a result of morbidity from the disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
