Cervical necrotizing fasciitis: an uncommon sequela to dental infection
Necrotizing fasciitis is a soft-tissue infection, usually polymicrobial, that causes necrosis of fascia and subcutaneous tissue while sparing skin and muscle. Although it more commonly involves the groin, abdomen, and extremities, it may also occur in the head and neck, usually secondary to dental i...
