From: Necrotizing fasciitis: microbiological characteristics and predictors of postoperative outcome
Morphological aspects of necrotizing fasciitis. Typical aspects on computed tomography (CT) scan included a thickening of the fascial layer, stranding of the subcutaneous tissue as well as edema of the adjacent muscle and local gas collections. (B) Histological hallmarks of necrotizing fasciitis with subcutaneous (a) and fascial (b) necrosis. (C) Intraoperative typical appearance of necrotic fascial layer and surrounding inflammatory tissue.
