A 39-yr-old wild-caught, female western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) died during an immobilization to assess swelling and apparent pain of the cervical region. Necropsy revealed a fistulous tract containing plant material in the oropharynx, above the soft palate, communicating with a left-sided cervical necrotizing fasciitis and myositis. Alpha-hemolytic Streptococcus and Prevotella sp. were isolated from the cervical lesion. This is a report of cervical necrotizing fasciitis in a western lowland gorilla.
一只39岁的野生雌性西部低地大猩猩（Gorilla gorilla gorilla）在为评估颈部肿胀和明显疼痛而进行的麻醉过程中死亡。尸检发现，在软腭上方的口咽部有一个含有植物材料的瘘管，与左侧颈部坏死性筋膜炎和肌炎相通。从颈部病变部位分离出了甲型溶血性链球菌和普雷沃菌属。本文报告了一例西部低地大猩猩颈部坏死性筋膜炎病例。
