Necrotizing
fasciitis is a critical progressive disease characterized by the infection of
the skin and soft tissue, which may develop after trauma.

A case
of trauma history and necrotizing fasciitis diagnosed 4 months ago was
presented with complaints of general state of impairment and consciousness
change.

Computed
tomography plays an important role in the diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis.
Treatment of diagnosed patients is with wide spectrum antibiotics and early
surgical debridement.

Gecikilen Vakada Kaçınılmaz Ölüm: Nekrotizan Fasiit Vaka Sunumu

Öz

Nekrotizan fasiit; travma sonrası gelişebilen, deri ve yumuşak dokuların enfeksiyonu ile karakterize, progresif ilerleyen kritik bir hastalıktır.

Acil servise genel durum bozukluğu ve şuur değişikliği şikayetleri ile getirilen, 4 ay önce travma öyküsü olan ve nekrotizan fasiit tanısı alan bir olgu sunulmuştur.

Nekrotizan fasiit tanısının koyulmasında bilgisayarlı tomografinin önemli bir yeri vardır. Tanı alan hastaların tedavisi; geniş spektrumlu antibiyoterapi ve erken cerrahi debridmandan oluşmaktadır.
