Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1982
Necrotizing and apparently nonhealing disease of the upper aerodigestive tract can be the result of a host of underlying causes. Exclusion of specific agents and malignancy masquerading as so-called nonhealing granulomas is mandatory. This done, four disorders enter the differential diagnosis; Wegener's granulomatosis, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma ...

Necrotizing Lymphadenitis (Kikuchi's Disease)

Kikuchi's disease, a benign self-limited lymphadenitis, may be confused histologically with malignant lymphoma. Discussed since 1972 in pathology literature, it has not been reported in major American pediatric journals.

The necrotic process in periodontal disease

Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, 1949
Abstract Areas and tracts of necrosis affecting all of the tissues of the periodontium have been observed. They exhibit evidence of being established by an extrinsic agent. The pathogenicity of Leptothrix falciformis has not been determined, but the common positional relationship of the colonies of this microorganism to the aforementioned areas of ...

Head & Neck, 1989
AbstractHistiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis (Kikuchi's disease) is a benign disorder predominantly of young women who present with cervical adenopathy. It has, on occasion, been misdiagnosed as a malignant neoplasm. Little mention of this condition has appeared in the otolaryngologic literature.

Subacute necrotizing encephalomyelopathy (Leigh's disease)

Pediatrics, 1977
Subacute necrotizing encephalomyelopathy (SNE) was first described in 1951 by Denis Leigh.1 Since then, well over 100 cases have been described, and probably as many as 100 more have been diagnosed (at postmortem examination) and not recorded. With an increased awareness of the clinical features of this disease comes an increase in early diagnosis ...

Necrotizing Myelopathy Complicating Hodgkin's Disease

Archives of Neurology, 1979
A case of necrotizing myelopathy is presented as a complication of Hodgkin's disease. The distinctive pathologic feature of this case was severe acute vasculitis involving only the vessels of the spinal cord that was considered to have been the cause of the segmental necrosis.

Necrotizing Enterocolitis

American Journal of Diseases of Children, 1985
The medical records of 51 inborn infants with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) were studied to determine factors that may contribute to the severity of NEC. In contrast to infants requiring only medical intervention, those with severe disease requiring a surgical procedure were less likely to have a history of a symptomatic patent ductus arteriosus (14%

Necrotizing enterocolitis in neonates with congenital heart disease

Life Sciences, 2008
Both necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and congenital heart disease (CHD) are causes of significant morbidity and mortality in the neonatal population. While two distinct disease processes, NEC and CHD are inter-related as the incidence of NEC is greater in neonates with CHD than the normal newborn population. It is likely that circulatory perturbations,

Necrotizing enterocolitis: Laboratory indicators of surgical disease

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1994
The timely distinction between infants with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) who need surgery and those who are likely to recover with medical management is important, but it may be difficult clinically. Because pneumoperitoneum is not always present, additional markers of bowel gangrene are needed. Among 73 babies managed for NEC over the study period,

Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infections: A Surgical Disease

The American Surgeon, 2000
Despite advances in antibiotics and infection control practices necrotizing fasciitis is still a potentially lethal disease. We reviewed 37 patients with necrotizing fasciitis to identify prognostic factors indicating outcome. Overall mortality was 24 per cent. Mortality was significantly increased for elderly patients.
