Cervicofacial necrotizing fasciitis (CNF) can occur as a dental complication in young, healthy individuals. Early diagnosis, treatment, and awareness of severe acute cervicofacial pain, rapid swelling, and radiological gas formation are crucial. Broad molecular profiling is recommended for understanding the organisms involved in such infections in future research.

Article Synopsis
- Cervicofacial necrotizing fasciitis (CNF) can arise from dental infections, despite its rarity, and poses serious health risks.
- The report details two cases: a 33-year-old man with severe pain and necrotic skin requiring extensive surgeries, and a 14-year-old girl with necrosis linked to malnutrition, treated with antibiotics.
- It emphasizes the critical need for early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention combined with antibiotics to effectively manage such dangerous complications from dental issues.

Introduction: Cervicofacial lymphatic malformations (cf-LM) may be identified on prenatal ultrasound, prompting consideration of ex utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) to secure the fetal airway. Furthermore, the recent shift in postnatal management of cf-LM from resection alone toward a multimodal approach including sirolimus and sclerotherapy may impact the neonatal outcomes of cf-LM. This study aims to characterize the neonatal outcomes of patients with prenatally diagnosed cf-LM who underwent EXIT-to-airway.

Article Synopsis
- Actinomycosis is a rare chronic infection primarily affecting areas like the face, lungs, or reproductive system, caused by Actinomyces bacteria.
- The disease leads to symptoms like abscesses, fistulas, and tissue damage, potentially mimicking cancerous conditions.
- A unique case of cutaneous actinomycosis on the forearm occurred without known triggers, but it was successfully treated with long-term antibiotic therapy.
