Introduction: Cervical necrotizing fasciitis (CNF) is a rapid progressing and potentially fatal infection of connective tissues that spreads along the fascial planes. It commonly develops from odontogenic sources. In this article, the authors present a case of CNF which was developed after open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of a mandibular fracture. Clinical case: A 19-year-old male patient with no past medical history was admitted due to a mandibular fracture. Following ORIF surgery, on third post-operative day, Physical examination revealed extensive cervical swelling extending from submandibular to suprasternal area, with tender and erythematous skin. Soon after confirmation of CNF diagnosis, surgical debridement and wide spectrum antibiotic therapy was performed. The residual soft tissue defect was reconstructed following infection subsidence. Conclusion: Our study aims to highlight the risk of CNF development during postoperative period of a simple mandibular fracture ORIF surgery which is considered a routine maxillofacial procedure. Early detection and adequate emergency treatment including immediate surgical intervention are critical in the management of these patients.
