Summary
Necrotizing fasciitis in the head and neck are not the same. This study differentiates between cervical necrotizing fasciitis and craniofacial necrotizing fasciitis, showing they are distinct conditions.
Area of Science:
- Infectious diseases
- Head and neck surgery
- Pathology
Background:
- Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) of the head and neck has been historically viewed as a single entity.
- This perception overlooks potential clinicopathological differences within the craniofacial region.
