It is commonly fatal and aggresive infection locised paranasal sinuses and orbit. We report two cases had necrotising infection on the left nasolabial region. Despite aggressive surgical debridement and medical treatment, the patients died 6 and 7 days after admission. Plastic Surgeons should be aware when they have a patient with rapidly developing soft tissue infection over the parasal sinuses and periorbital region. Combined treatment is mandatory for these patients. It usually results in death, but powerful efforts may save the patient.enCC0 1.0 Universalinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle3123Q230943
