Necrotising fasciitis of the neck and anterior chest wall.
Necrotising fasciitis is a rare but rapidly progressive and potentially life threatening infection of the soft tissue, involving subcutaneous tissue and deep fascial layer. It may affect any part of the body, but the extremities, abdominal wall, and perineum are most commonly affected. Here we present a case of necrotising fasciitis of the neck and anterior chest wall which is a rare presentation. The risk factor of the disease was uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. We could treat this patient successfully by early recognition, aggressive surgical debridement, intravenous antibiotics, fractional doses of insulin to control diabetes and other supportive measures.
