Abstract
Necrotizing fasciitis is a serious, rare and rapidly progressive infectious process involving fascia and subcutaneous tissue that is life-threatening. The orbito-palpebral localization is exceptional. We report the observation of a case of necrotizing fascitis with palpebral extension complicating preseptal orbital cellulitis despite well-managed antibiotic treatment following tooth extraction.
