Necrotizing fasciitis is a rapidly spreading infection involving the superficial fat, fascial layers with necrosis of skin and is a disfiguring condition that is fatal. Head and neck is an unusual site which is rarely affected. It is characterized by its fulminating, devastating and rapid progressive course. It usually occurs in patients with systemic conditions such as diabetes mellitus, renal disease, cardiovascular disease, HIV infections etc. A case of cervical necrotizing fasciitis of odontogenic origin occurring in a non-immunocompromised patient is reported here who was treated successfully by surgical debridement and antibiotic therapy |
