Abstract

The cesarean section is the most common gynecological operation. Necrotizing fasciitis is a progressive, rapidly spreading, and life threatening soft-tissue infection characterized by necrosis of skin, subcutaneous tissues and fasciae. The frequency of necrotizing fasciitis after cesarean section has been reported as 1.8/1000 in the literature. The infection can spread up to 2.5 cm/h, with minimal change in the overlying skin. Morbidity and mortality rates are high despite early diagnosis and treatment. Therefore early diagnosis and aggressive managements are essential. Computed tomography is a rapid imaging method that can show fascial thickening and the presence of gas at the affected area, and can guide the extensive surgical debridement. Herein we aimed to report a 44 years old woman who has necrotizing fasciitis which occurred after cesarean section as a case.

Özet

Sezaryen operasyonu en sık uygulanan jinekolojik operasyondur. Nekrotizan fasiit, cilt, subkutanöz doku ve fasiaların nekrozu ile karakterize, hızla yayılan ve yaşamı tehdit eden bir yumuşak doku enfeksiyonudur. Sezaryen sonrası nekrotizan fasiit sıklığı literatürde 1.8/1000 olarak bildirilmektedir. Bu enfeksiyon, üzerindeki ciltte minimal değişiklik yapacak şekilde 2.5 cm/saate varabilen hızla yayılabilir. Mortalite ve morbitide oranları erken tanı ve tedaviye rağmen yüksektir. Bu nedenle erken tanı ve agresif tedavi şarttır. Bilgisayarlı tomografi etkilenen alanlardaki fasial kalınlaşmaları ve gaz varlığını gösterebilen ve geniş cerrahi debridman için kılavuzluk eden hızlı bir görüntüleme metodudur. Bizler burada sezaryen operasyonu sonrası nekrotizan fasiit gelişen 44 yaşındaki kadın olguyu sunmayı amaçladık.
