Introduction- Necrotising fasciitis is a rapidly progressive disease with high morbidity and mortality. Head and neck necrotising fasciitis is a rare clinical entity but may be admitted under an ENT specialist team. An understanding of the presenting features and the need for prompt management is imperative. Case Series-We present a series of patients admitted to hospitals across Greater Glasgow, United Kingdom under Otoloryngology and Maxillofacial surgical teams with head and neck necrotising fasciitis over an 8-year time period. Discussion-8 patients were identified in this case series. We highlight the clinical features, patient demographics and operative courses of this patient group. We highlight the need to recognise peri-ocular necrotising fasciitis, especially in the paediatric population which has not been discussed in the otolaryngology literature previously.
