Title: Necrotizing fasciitis due to odontogenic cause - A case report
Abstract: Necrotizing fasciitis is an uncommon but highly debilitating lesion extensively involving the fascia spreading at a higher pace. It commonly affects the extremities and genitals, very rarely affecting the cervicofacial region. The underlying cause of most of the cervicofacial necrotizing fasciitis is odontogenic in nature with the patient being immunocompromised. This paper deals with an unusual case of cervicofacial necrotizing fasciitis of odontogenic origin of a non-immunocompromised individual and the successful surgical management of the lesion.
