Abstract
Background: Necrotizing fasciitis is a life-threatening soft tissue infection characterized by rapid spread along fascial planes that can lead to systemic toxicity and death if left untreated.
Case: In the present case a 57-year-old male patient developed fulminant necrotizing fasciitis following a motorcycle accident with severe abrasion injuries to the left lower leg. Despite aggressive surgical intervention and antimicrobial treatment, the patient had a complicated course of intensive care. The case underlines the importance of early diagnosis and immediate interdisciplinary treatment in this surgical emergency.
