Overview
Ultrasound is more useful in children (with raising incidence after primary varicella infection). On ultrasound, necrotizing fasciitis is characterized by distorted and thickened fascial planes with turbid fluid accumulation in the fascial layers, subcutaneous edema and soft tissue gas.
Ultrasound
- Ultrasound is more useful in children (with raising incidence after primary varicella infection).[1][2]
- On ultrasound, necrotizing fasciitis is characterized by:
- Distorted and thickened fascial planes with turbid fluid accumulation in the fascial layers
- Subcutaneous edema
- Soft tissue gas
