    Abstract:
    Craniocervical necrotizing fasciitis is an uncommon but aggressive infection with high morbidity and mortality. We present a case of craniocervical necrotizing fasciitis with thoracic extension caused by a dental infection in a 56-year-old man, with a successful outcome involving broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics and an aggressive surgical debridement.
