Abstract: Objective To investigate the relationship between acute epiglottitis and cervical necrotizing fasciitis and its’ clinical course. Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 3 cases of cervical necrotizing fasciitis with acute epiglottitis as the primary diagnosis. The correlation, diagnosis, and treatment of acute epiglottitisand cervical necrotizing fasciitis were analyzed. Results Three patients underwentsurgery after a definite diagnosis by neck CT.(1fatality and 2recoveries). Conclusion The possibility of cervical necrotizing fasciitis should be considered inpatients with acute epiglottitis who fail to respond to active anti-infective and anti-inflammatory treatment. Early surgery, drainage, and vigilance regarding the basic treatment of systemic diseases are keys to the treatment of cervical necrotizing fasciitis.
