Abstract
Necrotising fasciitis of the neck is a soft tissue infection which vigorously affects fascia and superficial fat tissue with necrosis of the overlying skin. It commonly affects the perineum, extremities, abdominal wall and rarely occurs in the neck. We reported a case of neck necrotising fasciitis which has presented to us with left neck swelling and required immediate surgical intervention.
