RESUMO
We report the case of a 75-year-old diabetic patient who presented with posterior cervical necrotizing fasciitis complicating cellulitis. Medical management in intensive care and surgical drainage were undertaken; sequential excision of the necrotic tissue left a large loss of substance of the nuchal region for which we opted for directed healing in the first instance. The definitive coverage of this loss of substance by locoregional rotation flap or by thin skin grafting was discussed. However, it was refused by the patient.
