ABSTRACT
A multicenter review of Periorbital Necrotizing Fasciitis including nine cases, aged 41 to 82, mostly female, and mainly post-traumatic or idiopathic. Streptococcus pyogenes was the most frequent pathogen. Treatment involved debridement alongside antibiotic therapy in all cases. Two cases experienced toxic shock, with no fatalities. Visual outcomes varied from exenteration to preserved visual acuity with minimal aesthetic impact. Early detection and prompt intervention are paramount due to the significant risks associated with this condition, which may lead to severe complications ranging from vision loss to systemic decline or death.
