Abstract A patient with cyclic neutropenia suffered full-thickness loss of her right abdominal wall and thigh muscles from clostridial myonecrosis. No port of entry was definitely identified. The sepsis and myonecrotic process were controlled by resuscitative measures, extensive multisession debribement, and hyperbaric treatment.
