All patients were underwent surgical debridement and treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics after diagnose. Complications occurred in 14 patients. Fifty-nine patients were cured while 2 patients died. After 3 months or more follow-up, 3 patients accompanied with sequelae of vocal hoarseness, and no patient recurred or died. Early surgical debridement and the use of antibiotics should be taken as soon as possible after diagnosis of cervical necrotizing fasciitis, as well as control of comorbidities and systemic support treatment in order to prevent complications and deaths.
