Necrotizing fasciitis of the periorbital region: from presentation to reconstructive journey

Periorbital necrotizing fasciitis is a very rare condition with a UK incidence of 0.24 cases per million per annum. Outcomes can range from disfigurement to sight loss and even death. Debridement is crucial when sight or life is threatened and the subsequent reconstructive stages can be challenging....

description Periorbital necrotizing fasciitis is a very rare condition with a UK incidence of 0.24 cases per million per annum. Outcomes can range from disfigurement to sight loss and even death. Debridement is crucial when sight or life is threatened and the subsequent reconstructive stages can be challenging. We describe two cases of periocular necrotizing fasciitis demonstrating the progression of the disease as well as the surgical debridement for both pre-septal and post-septal disease and the reconstructive steps leading to outcome. Level of evidence: Level V, therapeutic study.
