Introduction- Necrotising fasciitis is a rapidly progressive disease
with high morbidity and mortality. Head and neck necrotising fasciitis
is a rare clinical entity but may be admitted under an ENT specialist
team. An understanding of the presenting features and the need for
prompt management is imperative. Case Series-We present a series of
patients admitted to hospitals across Greater Glasgow, United Kingdom
under Otoloryngology and Maxillofacial surgical teams with head and neck
necrotising fasciitis over an 8-year time period. Discussion-8 patients
were identified in this case series. We highlight the clinical features,
patient demographics and operative courses of this patient group. We
highlight the need to recognise peri-ocular necrotising fasciitis,
especially in the paediatric population which has not been discussed in
the otolaryngology literature previously.
