Fenestrated Maxillary Artery

Abstract

Necrotizing fasciitis of the head and neck is a rare but serious condition. The mainstay treatment is surgical debridement and incision/drainage/exploration, while adjunctive modalities include hyperbaric oxygen and reconstructive techniques. Hyperbaric oxygen has improved outcomes and should be considered for treatment of NF. In addition, chronic conditions worsened patient outcomes. Providers should consider potential factors when creating a treatment plan.
