Abstract
Necrotizing fasciitis is a severe, rapidly progressive infectious process characterized by rapid spread and extensive tissue destruction. This condition stems from a variety of sources, may affect any area of the body, and requires rapid diagnosis and aggressive intervention. We present a rare case of odontogenic infection progressing to acute cervicofacial necrotizing fasciitis of the scalp and neck.
