Cervical necrotizing fasciitis, a rapid infection, requires prompt treatment. This case highlights successful surgical debridement and antibiotics in managing this severe condition of odontogenic origin.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Cervical necrotizing fasciitis is a severe, rapidly progressing soft tissue infection.
  • Early diagnosis and intervention are critical due to high mortality rates.

Observation:

  • A 75-year-old female with diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, and obesity presented with cervical necrotizing fasciitis.
  • The infection originated from a dental source (odontogenic) and presented with significant subcutaneous emphysema and early sepsis.

Findings:

  • Successful management was achieved through surgical debridement and drainage.
  • Intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics, along with local wound irrigation using iodine solution and metronidazole, were crucial components of treatment.

Implications:
