Necrotizing fasciitis is a life-threatening soft tissue infection involving the superficial fascia and subcutaneous fat that requires aggressive, prompt surgical debridement. The early diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis is often difficult as it may present in an elusive fashion with relatively minor ...
suggest that for Type 3 cases, treatment may involve not only appendectomy and hernia repair but also more extensive surgical procedures such as high orchiectomy, right hemicolectomy, and debridement for necrotizing fasciitis, depending on the individual case. In this particular case, in addition to...
In 10/32 patients (group 1) no abnormality was observed in the neck or in the chest spaces on CT scan. These patients were all treated non-operatively. In 12/32 patients (group 2) CT showed the presence in the neck spaces of fluid collections, fasciitis, cellulitis, myositis, jugular ...
Gas bubbles are one of the important signs in the clinical diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis, and radiographs are mandatory. An instance where gas bubbles not found on the plain radiographs were clearly shown by CT, which is a useful method for close monitoring and decompression of gas bubbles ...

MRI imaging may identify hyperemia and edema in the bone in osteomyelitis, associated soft tissue sites of infection, fluid collections such as abscesses, and complications such as necrotizing fasciitis. MRI also offers superior anatomic definition. However, the presence of hardware at the site of ...
