Mortality And Morbidity

Poly-microbial infection leading to necrotizing soft tissue infection is known to cause fulminant sepsis resulting in significant mortality and morbidity despite aggressive medical and surgical management. We present a case of Meleney’s like synergistic gangrene of abdominal wall culminating in full blown sepsis and death in the background of penetrating injury to the abdomen. Our patient was a 36 year old female, who presented with a penetrating injury to the abdomen due to a road traffic accident resulting in a laceration over the anterior abdominal wall with evisceration of bowel and omentum. After initial resuscitation, patient was immediately taken up for exploration and multiple small bowel perforations were primarily repaired. Postoperatively, she developed severe polymicrobial infection at the laceration site which extended all over the abdomen. She was treated with broad spectrum antibiotics based on culture and sensitivity and serial debridement of necrosis was done. She developed ventral hernia during the course, which was complicated by necrosis of bowel which was managed by resection and anastomosis. Postoperatively, she developed multi-organ dysfunction due to sepsis and succumbed to infection. We imply on the necessity of innovative techniques and multidisciplinary approach for controlling sepsis and compensating the significant soft tissue loss due to widespread necrotizing infection.

High Index Of Suspicion

Necrotizing soft tissue infection (NSTI) is an aggressive and rapidly spreading soft tissue infection that could be associated with high mortality. Early diagnosis can be challenging and so a high index of suspicion is needed. Bedside ultrasonography (USG) and computed tomography (CT) scan could be employed to aid in diagnosis.  The objective of this report is to describe the diagnostic process in a resource challenged setting and review the literature. We present an elderly patient with necrotizing fasciitis of the anterior abdominal wall as a complication of neglected strangulated Richter’s epigastric hernia that resulted in mortality.

Progressive Necrosis

Necrotizing soft tissue infection (NSTI) is a disease characterized by rapidly progressive necrosis involving skin, subcutaneous tissue, fascia or muscle. It is commonly seen in extremities, perineum and lower abdomen. It is extremely uncommon for necrotizing fasciitis to occur along the chest wall, with only a few such cases being reported. We report one such rare case of NSTI in a 75 year old male who underwent left molar tooth extraction developed Ludwig’s angina which progressed to present as a painful swelling over the left side of the neck and chest with a necrotic patch of skin over manubrium sternum managed successfully.
