Periorbital necrotizing fasciitis: the Manchester experience

This study showed no mortality in PONF due to early antibiotic treatment and surgical debridement. A high index of clinical suspicion for PONF using the LRINEC score and other parameters combined with a low threshold for treatment should be maintained, especially in high-risk groups. Urgent referral to specialist surgical teams to ensure prompt diagnosis and treatment is essential to optimise outcomes in the face of this destructive infection.
