Abstract

Cervical necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rare and fatal bacterial infection. It is characterized with tissue necrosis advancing on fascial planes and subcutaneous tissues. In this article, we present two NF patients who were evaluated for prevalent neck pain and motion limitation. We observed prevalent edema on subcutaneous tissue on neck computed tomography. We transferred the patients, who were diagnosed as NF, to intensive care and started wide spectrum antibiotherapy. We performed neck exploration in emergency conditions and resected all necrotic fascial planes. First patient died due to a secondary hospital infection on 45 th day of hospitalization despite the elimination of the infection in the neck. Second patient was discharged from hospital at postoperative 10 th day without any follow-up complication. The diagnosis of NF is established with clinical suspicion and physical examination. Early diagnosis, appropriate wide spectrum antibiotherapy, and surgical debridement are the most important factors to avoid mortality.

Özet

Servikal nekrotizan fasiit (NF) nadir ve ölümcül bir bakteriyelenfeksiyondur. Fasya planları ve subkütan dokularda ilerleyendoku nekrozu ile karakterizedir. Bu yazıda, yaygın boyunağrısı ve hareket kısıtlılığı nedeni ile değerlendirilen iki NFhastası sunuldu. Boyun bilgisayarlı tomografide subkütanözdokuda yaygın ödem izlendi. Nekrotizan fasiit tanısı konulanhastalar yoğun bakıma nakledildi ve geniş spektrumluantibiyoterapi başlandı. Acil şartlarda boyun eksplorasyonuyapıldı ve tüm nekrotik fasya planları rezeke edildi. Birincihasta boyun enfeksiyonunun giderilmesine rağmen hastaneyeyatışının 45. gününde ikincil bir hastane enfeksiyonu nedeniile kaybedildi. İkinci hasta takiplerinde komplikasyonolmaksızın ameliyat sonrası 10. günde taburcu edildi.Nekrotizan fasiit tanısı klinik şüphe ve fizik muayene ilekonulur. Erken tanı, uygun geniş spektrumlu antibiyoterapive cerrahi debridman mortalitenin önüne geçebilmek için enönemli faktörlerdir.
