Necrotizing fasciitis of the chest wall David B Safran, MD, William G Sullivan, MD The Annals of Thoracic Surgery Volume 72, Issue 4, Pages 1362-1364 (October 2001) DOI: 10.1016/S0003-4975(00)02588-1

Fig 1 Computed tomography scan of the chest showing extensive, multiloculated right-sided pleural collection, consistent with a diagnosis of empyema. A small gas pocket may be seen within the smaller, lateral cavity. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2001 72, 1362-1364DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(00)02588-1)

Fig 2 Wound cavity undergoing bedside packing change. Multiple intrapleural chest tubes are seen, with closed suction Jackson-Pratt drains in the recesses of the soft tissue defect. Note the absorbable mesh covering the gap caused by rib resection. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2001 72, 1362-1364DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(00)02588-1)

Fig 3 Follow-up CT scan showing closure of the thoracic cage. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2001 72, 1362-1364DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(00)02588-1)
