ABSTRACT Necrotizing fasciitis is a progressive, life-threatening, bacterial infection of the skin, the subcutaneous tissue and the underlying fascia, in most cases caused by β-hemolytic group A Streptococcus. Only early diagnosis and aggressive therapy including broad spectrum antibiotics and surgical intervention can avoid systemic toxicity with a high mortality rate. This disease is commonly known to occur in the lower extremities and trunk, and only rarely in the head and neck region, the face being rarest finding. When located in the face necrotizing fasciitis is associated with severe cosmetic and functional complication due to the invasive nature, infection and often due to the necessary surgical treatment. In the following article, we present the successful diagnosis and management of an isolated facial necrotizing fasciitis as a consequence of odontogenic infection.

A Fasceíte Necrosante (FN) teve seu primeiro relato na época da guerra civil americana. Pode ser definida como uma infecção rara, com potencial de levar o paciente a óbito, onde acomete principalmente adultos e idosos, pacientes imunossuprimidos, portadores de diabetes miellitus e outros fatores sistêmicos, sem predileção por sexo. Estão presentes anaeróbicos e bactérias gram negativas nas feridas da FN.  O sucesso no tratamento envolve o diagnóstico precoce, desbridamento cirúrgico radical de todo o tecido necrótico, antibioticoterapia parenteral de amplo espectro e medidas gerais de suporte agressivas. Os Cirurgiões Bucomaxilofaciais, muitas vezes, se deparam com casos de FN de cabeça e pescoço, pois as infecções odontogênicas são as causas mais comuns dessa infecção. Foi realizada uma revisão de literatura com o objetivo de fazer um levantamento sobre os tratamentos para Fasciíte Necrosante Cérvico-Facial por complicação de infecção odontogênica. O estudo tomou forma a partir de pesquisa bibliográfica apoiada em leituras selecionadas após a aplicação dos critérios de exclusão, que tenham ênfase em casos clínicos de Fasciíte Necrosante Cérvico-Facial por complicação de infecção odontogênica com resumo, tratamento proposto e evolução do paciente. A base de dados utilizada para busca dos artigos foram os Periódicos CAPES, Literature Analysis (PubMed/ MEDLINE) e Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO). Foram encontrados 44 artigos e, considerando os critérios de inclusão e exclusão e as variantes necessárias, foram incluídos para análise apenas 21 artigos. Os fatores relacionados a condições sistêmicas prévias, idade e gênero sexual não são determinantes para o acometimento da doença. O tratamento padrão ouro consiste em antibioticoterapia, drenagem, desbridamento, irrigação, curativo e remoção do foco infeccioso. A antibioticoterapia, independentemente de sua forma de administração, é fator chave para o tratamento. Sendo importante associar as classes de antibiótico beta-lactâmicos e nitroimidazol para um maior índice de sucesso na evolução do paciente. Palavras-Chave: Fasciíte Necrosante Cérvico-Facial; Odontologia; Infecção. ABSTRACT Necrotizing Fasciitis (NF) had the first report at the time of the American Civil War. It can be defined as a rare infection, with death potential, affecting principally adults and the elderly, immunosuppressed patients, diabetes mellitus patients and other systemic factors, without preference by gender. Anaerobics and Gram Negative bacteria are present in NF lesions. Successful treatment involves an early diagnosis, radical debridement of all necrotic tissue, broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy, and aggressive general supportive measures. Oral and Maxillo Facial Surgeons often encounter facial-cervical NF because Odontogenic infections are the most common causes of this infection. This study aims to carry out a literature review with the objective of surveying the treatments for cervical-necrotizing fasciitis due to the complication of odontogenic infection. The study was based on bibliographic research based on selected readings after applying the exclusion criteria, which emphasize clinical cases of Facial Necrotizing Fasciitis due to the complication of odontogenic infection with summary, proposed treatment and evolution of the disease. The database used to search the articles were the CAPES Journals, Literature Analysis and Scientific Electronic Library Online. We found 44 articles and, considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria, only 21 articles were included for analysis. Factors related to previous systemic conditions, age and gender are not determinant for disease involvement. The gold standard treatment consists of antibiotic therapy, drainage, debridement, irrigation, band Aid and removal of the infectious focus. Antibiotic therapy, apart of its forms of administration, is a key factor for treatment. It is important to combine the beta-lactam antibiotic and nitroimidazole classes for a higher success rate in patient outcome.Key words: Necrotizing Cervico-Facial Fasciitis; Dentistry; Infection.
