Abstract

Subgaleal haematoma in adulthood and periorbital necrotising fasciitis are unusual occurrences that have not been reported together. We discuss the first observed case of a 35-year-old female with periorbital necrotising fasciitis postulated to be caused by subgaleal haematoma following head trauma that was successfully managed with antibiotics and surgery.
