Abstract

Necrotizing fasciitis developed in a 47-year-old woman after head trauma. Bilateral lid infection due to Group A beta-hemolytic streptococci resulted. Local treatment with surgical debridement and systemic management of fluid and electrolyte balance resulted in a favorable outcome from this extremely rare condition.
