Abstract
Necrotizing fasciitis is rare acute infection showing rapidly necrosis involve the subcutaneous tissue and fascia. If treatment is delayed, infection can spread to involve the subcutaneous tissue, skin, deep fascia, and even muscle in rapid sequence, resulting in widespread necrosis and moderate to severe systemic toxicity. Most commonly this disease presents in the extremities, trunk, and perineum; it is relatively rare in the head and neck regions. If not diagnosed and treated in its early stages, necrotizing fasciitis can be potentially fatal, with a motality rate approaching 40%. Historically, the clinical entity now referred to as necrotizing fasciitis was described in the literature under various name. : hospital gangrene, necrotizing erysipelas, streptococcal gangrene, suppurative fasciitis. Necrotizing fasciitis was first described by Wilson in 1952. We experienced 3 cases of necrotizing fasciitis and will report review of literature with diagnosis, treatment, complication and consideration.
