Necrotizing fasciitis with fatal outcome: a report of two cases.

Sarah Heinze1, Klaus Püschel, Michael Tsokos.   

Abstract

Two cases of sudden and unexpected death due to necrotizing fasciitis are presented with a short overview of this rare disease with special reference to pathological features and causative and epidemiological factors. One case occurred as a complication of liposuction surgery, and the second presented after minor trauma. Based on the autopsy findings and an interdisciplinary approach, medico-legal evaluation provides a substantial basis for later court hearings in such cases.
