Pak Oral Dental J Jan ;23(2):101-4.

Necrotising Fasciitis is a severe and sometimes fatal polymicrobial infection, which characteristically spreads along fascial planes to involve subcutaneous tissues, fascia, late stage skin, and possibly muscles. It is rare in head and neck region, with odontogenic infection being the commonest cause. Early diagnosis, prompt surgical intervention, aggressive antimicrobial therapy and intensive care are the key to successful management. A case of necrotising fasciitis with ascending infection into infratemporal and temporal spaces is reported.
