Abstract

Clostridium septicum gas gangrene is a rare fulminant infectious disease for which signs and symptoms like extreme pain, subcutaneous crepitus and violaceous necrotic bullae must be recognised. Early diagnosis followed by large surgical debridement are the only ways to ameliorate the bad prognosis. Here we describe a case of cervico-thoracic spontaneous gas gangrene.
