Abstract

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rare, rapidly progressive bacterial infection. Periorbital NF may spread from the eyelid into the posterior orbit. Extent of the infection is critical in planning surgical debridement. A diabetic 70-year-old man presented with a black wound and severe pain in the left periorbital area following a mild trauma. Clinical findings were consistent with NF involving the eyelids, temporal and malar regions. In addition, he had proptosis, diffuse ophthalmoplegia, and central retinal artery occlusion, suggesting deep orbital involvement. Computed tomography showed soft tissue abnormalities in the anterior orbit. The patient was successfully treated with subcutaneous debridement, antibiotherapy, and metabolic support. Periorbital NF may be complicated with posterior orbital cellulitis-like symptoms and retinal vascular occlusions, possibly because of remote vascular thrombi induced by bacterial toxins. This clinical manifestation should be distinguished from true bacterial invasion of the posterior orbit, which may require more aggressive surgical treatments such as exenteration.

Özet

Nekrotizan fasyitis (NF) nadir, hızlı ilerleyici bir bakteriyel enfeksiyondur. Periorbital NF göz kapaklarından arka orbitaya yayılabilir. Enfeksiyonun uzanımı cerrahi debridmanın planlanması açısından önemlidir. Yetmiş yaşında diyabetik bir erkek, sol periorbital bölgede hafif bir travmayı izleyen siyah bir yara ve şiddetli bir ağrıyla başvurdu. Klinik bulgular göz kapakları, temporal ve malar bölgeleri tutan bir NF ile uyumluydu. Bunların dışında, hastada, derin orbital tutulumu düşündüren, proptozis, diffüz oftalmopleji ve santral retinal arter tıkanıklığı vardı. Bilgisayarlı tomografi ön orbitada yumuşak doku anormallikleri gösterdi. Hasta deri altı debridman, antibiyoterapi ve metabolik destekle başarılı bir biçimde tedavi edildi. Periorbital NF, muhtemelen bakteriyel toksinlerin yol açtığı uzak vasküler trombüsler nedeniyle, orbital sellülit benzeri semptomlar ve retinal damar tıkanıklıkları ile komplike olabilir. Bu klinik görünüm, ekzenterasyon gibi daha ağır tedaviler gerektirebilecek, arka orbitanın gerçek bakteriyel invazyonundan ayırt edilmelidir.
