Sumario: | Cervicofacial cellulitis is a brutal and dreadful disease that poses a serious problem in terms of therapeutic management. Most often, these cellulitides occur either in a fragile environment or after inappropriate initial management. We report two (02) observations of cervicofacial cellulitis in patients with vascular malformation of the face. In both cases, the patients were previously diagnosed with a facial vascular malformation and presented with secondary cervicofacial cellulitis homolateral to the vascular malformation. The diagnosis of cellulitis was made by clinical and biological elements and confirmed by imaging (CT). This comorbidity remains a rare entity, and almost not reported in the literature; their management remains however complex and must be integrated with multidisciplinary consultations. |
