Article Synopsis
- Cervical necrotizing fasciitis (CNF) is a serious and fast-progressing infection of the neck tissue, with dental issues being the most common cause.
- It has a mortality rate of 7% to 20%, especially higher if complications like mediastinitis or septic shock occur.
- Early diagnosis and aggressive treatment are essential to managing CNF effectively and improving patient survival rates, requiring coordinated efforts from emergency services and surgical teams.
