It can arise as a complication of a strangulated hernia, where a part of the intestine becomes trapped and deprived of its blood supply. Rarely, this can result in abdominal wall fasciitis, which carries a grim prognosis. Timely debridement, however, has been shown to yield improved outcomes. Here, we report our experience with a 53-y-old morbidly obese patient who presented with colicky abdominal pain lasting for 1 week, progressively worsening and becoming constant. She also exhibited symptoms of fever, constipation, vomiting and anorexia. Furthermore, there was an infected wound measuring 20\u00a0cm\u2009\u00d7\u200913\u00a0cm along the midline of the abdomen. Imaging studies revealed indications of small bowel obstruction. This case describes a unique presentation of strangulated incisional hernia complicated by NF of the anterior abdominal wall, successfully managed with surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjad417","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,19]],"date-time":"2023-07-19T12:15:54Z","timestamp":1689768954000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Abdominal wall necrotizing fasciitis as a complication of strangulated hernia - an ominous consequence of a preventable scenario"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2023","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6514-5206","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elias Edward","family":"Lahham","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Al-Quds University , Jerusalem , Palestine"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maram","family":"Albandak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Al-Quds University , Jerusalem , Palestine"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohammed","family":"Ayyad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Al-Quds University , Jerusalem , Palestine"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohammad","family":"AlQadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Beit-Jala Hospital , Bethlehem , Palestine"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023072707320079200_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"69","DOI":"10.1102\/1470-5206.2013.0013","article-title":"Anterior abdominal wall necrotizing fasciitis due to strangulated umbilical hernia: a diagnostic dilemma","volume":"13","author":"Mwandri","year":"2013","journal-title":"Grand Rounds"},{"key":"2023072707320079200_ref2","article-title":"Abdominal wall necrotizing fasciitis: a survivor from Meleney\u2019s Minefield","volume":"22","author":"Akhtar","year":"2012","journal-title":"Internet J Surg"},{"key":"2023072707320079200_ref3","article-title":"Ventral incisional hernia case report: a therapeutic challenge","volume":"8","author":"Oliveira Leite","year":"2020","journal-title":"SAGE Open Med Case Rep"},{"key":"2023072707320079200_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"279","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jamcollsurg.2008.10.032","article-title":"Necrotizing fasciitis: current concepts and review of the literature","volume":"208","author":"Sarani","year":"2009","journal-title":"J Am Coll Surg"},{"key":"2023072707320079200_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1535","DOI":"10.1097\/01.CCM.0000129486.35458.7D","article-title":"The LRINEC (Laboratory Risk Indicator for Necrotizing Fasciitis) score: a tool for distinguishing necrotizing fasciitis from other soft tissue infections","volume":"32","author":"Wong","year":"2004","journal-title":"Crit Care Med"},{"key":"2023072707320079200_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"452","DOI":"10.1001\/archsurg.2010.50","article-title":"Diagnosis of necrotizing soft tissue infections by computed tomography","volume":"145","author":"Zacharias","year":"2010","journal-title":"Arch Surg"}],"container-title":["Journal of Surgical Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article-pdf\/2023\/7\/rjad417\/50972435\/rjad417.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article-pdf\/2023\/7\/rjad417\/50972435\/rjad417.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,27]],"date-time":"2023-07-27T07:32:20Z","timestamp":1690443140000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article\/doi\/10.1093\/jscr\/rjad417\/7225908"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,7]]},"references-count":6,"journal-issue":{"issue":"7","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,3]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/jscr\/rjad417","relation":{},"ISSN":["2042-8812"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2042-8812","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published-other":{"date-parts":[[2023,7]]},"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,7]]},"article-number":"rjad417"}}
