Necrotizing fasciitis is a progressive infection of fascia that is associated with necrosis of subcutaneous tissues. It has high morbidity and mortality rates because the diagnosis is often not made early enough to institute the aggressive treatment that is necessary to prevent death. We herein report a case of necrotizing fasciitis of the anterior abdominal wall following a myomectomy in an obese diabetic female that was diagnosed early enough to allow for a favorable outcome following aggressive antibiotic therapy and surgical debridement.

AbstractRectus abdominis is a long strap like muscle that extends along the entire length of anterior abdominal wall. Normally the rectus abdominis arises by two tendons. The larger lateral tendon attached to the crest of the pubis, pubic tubercle up to pectineal line. The medial tendon is attached to the pubic symphysis. The fleshy fibers of rectus abdominis replaced by aponeurosis below the umbilicus was found during the routine dissections of a middle aged female cadaver at Dr. Pinnamaneni Siddhartha Medical College, Chinnavutapalli, Andhra Pradesh, India. The knowledge of partial or complete absence of rectus abdominis and other anterior abdominal wall musculature is of immense importance for the General surgeon, Anatomist and the Gastroenterologist.
