Purpose:
To report a case of periocular necrotizing fasciitis with toxic shock syndrome.
Methods:
This is a case report of a previously healthy 69-year-old woman with left preseptal eyelid infection that spread rapidly and deteriorated into necrosis of the eyelid with toxic shock syndrome. She was admitted to intensive care unit for hemodynamic stabilization.
Results:
Intravenous antibiotic and high-dose immunoglobulin were administered followed by surgical debridement. Rehabilitative eyelid reconstruction was performed after acute episode, resulting in patient satisfaction in relation to periocular function and appearance.
Conclusion:
We reported a case of periocular necrotizing fasciitis with toxic shock syndrome that necessitated early aggressive medical treatment and adequate surgical intervention to decrease morbidity and mortality. A high level of suspicion of periocular necrotizing fasciitis is necessary to make a prompt diagnosis.

01:16Shock Waves
When the source's speed approaches the speed of sound, constructive interference between successive wavefronts emitted by the source occurs immediately behind it. Initially, scientists believed that this constructive interference would result in such high...
01:26Toxic Reactions: Overview
Toxicity falls into two primary categories: local and systemic.
Local toxicity appears at the exposure site, such as protein denaturation caused by caustic substances.
In contrast, systemic toxicity requires the toxic agent's absorption and distribution,...
