Necrotizing
Fasciitis of Upper Leg
As Dan Akroyd said to Chevy Chase in Spies
Like Us, "You don't want it!" |
Late
stage necrosis of epidermis, subcutaneous layers, fascia,
and musculature of upper lateral leg. Site circumference
is dehydrated, crusted, and erythemic. Possibility of
necrosed peripheral nervous tissue likely with onset
of local anesthesia (i.e. patient has no perception
of pain at wound site). |

Below:
Detailed illustration of aforementioned figure. Again,
clearly defined necrotic border reaching through several
layers of tissue. Marked necrosis of muslce (dark regions). |

Makes you kind of feel like eating a big,
wet BBQ beef sandwich, doesn't it? |
