Presenta zonas de laceración por rascado en los párpados, que evolucionan a placas de necrosis fibrinoide durante las primeras 24 horas. Se cultivan las lesiones, demostrando Streptococcus pyogenes y Staphylococcus aureus. Se ingresa a la paciente con diagnóstico de fascitis necrosante periorbitaria para tratamiento intravenoso con ceftriaxona, linezolid y desbridamiento quirúrgico urgente.

An 80 year-old woman with no relevant medical history, consulted for worsening of right palpebral itching and pain after an insect bite. Her eyelids had areas of laceration due to scratching, which rapidly progressed to fibrinoid necrosis over the first 24 hours. Lesions were cultivated, revealing Streptococcus pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus. The patient was admitted to hospital with the diagnosis of periorbital necrotising fasciitis, in order to receive treatment with intravenous ceftriaxone, linezolid, and immediate surgical debridement. She remained in hospital for 17 days. Daily wound management consisted of debridement of necrotic remains, disinfection with chlorhexidine, and wound dressing with mupirocin, sulfadiazine, and miconazole ointments. The patient suffered streptococcal toxic shock syndrome, but she recovered over the first week. Palpebral reconstruction was performed on day 15, consisting of a preauricular total thickness skin graft for the superior eyelid, and lateral malar advancement to cover the lower eyelid. Adequate cosmetic and functional results were obtained
