Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a fatal soft tissue infection causing necrosis of the subcutaneous tissue and fascial planes. It may have systemic manifestations. NF occurs usually in the extremities, perineum, abdomen, and rarely in the head and neck region. Early diagnosis, combination of intravenous antibiotics and early surgical debridement are crucial in the management of NF.We report a 74- year old woman with a rapidly progressive cervical NF following febrile neutropenia, resistant to intravenous antibiotics. We briefly comment on current management of cervical NF and the timing of debridement. We believe that this report will remind otolaryngologists to consider NF in differential diagnosis when dealing with patients who have suspicious findings.
