Frostbite with tissue necrosis of neck - what does this mean
Frostbite with tissue necrosis of neck occurs when the skin and underlying tissue are exposed to extreme cold temperatures for an extended period of time. this causes the tissue to freeze, leading to cell death and necrosis of the affected area. if left untreated, the tissue can become permanently damaged and require surgical intervention.
What happens during the disease - frostbite with tissue necrosis of neck
Frostbite is a condition in which the skin and underlying tissues of the neck become damaged due to prolonged exposure to cold temperatures. this causes the blood vessels in the affected area to constrict, reducing blood flow and causing tissue necrosis. as the cells die, the tissue becomes damaged and can lead to tissue necrosis. in severe cases, the affected tissue can become permanently damaged, leading to permanent scarring, disfigurement, or even death.
