Abstract
Background: Cervical necrotising fasciitis (CNF) is a rapidly progressive soft tissue infection with poor prognosis and high mortality. The mainstay of treatment is early debridement and broad-spectrum antibiotics, however the role of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) as an adjuvant treatment is debated. We performed a systematic review of the literature encompassing all patients with CNF who underwent HBOT. review the use of HBOT in patients diagnosed with CNF to provide novel descriptive data and to review the overall influence this has on prognosis.
