A rare complication of endoscopic sinüs surgery: necrotizing fasciitis of the eyelid

Year 2004, Volume: 12 Issue: 1, 51 - 53, 15.03.2004

Abstract

Necrotizing fasciitis is a soft tissue infection charac- terised by necrosis of fascia and subcutaneous tissue.İt frequently involves the groin, abdomen and lower extremities, but rarely involves the head and neck region. An unusual occurence of periorbital necrotizing fasciitis after a routine endoscopic sinüs surgery in a 57-year-old woman with a history of type II diabetes mellitus is presented. Although the disease is very rare, ali the physicians should be aware of the manifestations of this disorder and its treatment. Early recognition and prompt intervention plays an important role in minimizing the morbidity and mortality rates.

Endoskopik sinüs cerrahisinin nadir bir komplikasyonu: Gözkapağı nekrotizan fasiiti

Year 2004, Volume: 12 Issue: 1, 51 - 53, 15.03.2004

Abstract

Nekrotizan fasiit cilt altı doku ve fasyanın nekrozu ile kendini gösteren bir yumuşak doku enfeksiyonudur. İngüinal bölge, karın ve alt ekstremitelerde daha sık rastlansa da, baş ve boyun bölgesinde de nadiren görülür. Tip II diabetes mellitus öyküsü olan ve en- doskopik sinüs cerrahisi yapılmış 57 yaşındaki bir kadın hastada periorbital nekrotizan fasiit olgusu su- nuldu. Hastalık nadir görülse de tüm hekimlerin bu hastalığın belirtileri ve tedavisi hakkında bilgi sahibi olmaları gerekir. Erken tanı ve zamanında müdaha- le, morbidite ve mortalite oranlarını azaltmada önemli rol oynar
