Case Reports
[Facial necrotizing fasciitis after mild trauma of the eyelid: role of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory treatment].
Facial necrotizing fasciitis is a rare but potentially serious and fatal infection, especially in children. We report the case of a five-year-old girl who developed rapidly progressive necrotizing fasciitis of the face secondary to a mild trauma, with a small wound in the upper eyelid. ⋯ Final progression was satisfactory without sequelae. We discuss here the role of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in the development of necrotizing fasciitis in cutaneous lesions, whether traumatic or not.

Retinal macrovessel is a rare disease. Since the first description in 1869 by Mauthner, fewer than 30 cases have been reported. We report a case of congenital retinal macrovessel in a 28-year-old patient with no pathological history. ⋯ The etiology of congenital retinal macrovessel is unknown. The diagnosis is clinical; its course is characterized by its stability. Its combination with central serous retinopathy is a fortuitous coincidence more than an individualized clinical form.
