We present a severe case of orbital necrotizing fasciitis that was treated utilizing negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT).   The conditions caused by the disease and the utility of the treatment were discussed. Additionally, the functionality and the process of the treatment were thoroughly analyzed. Potential complications from utilizing NPWT were also identified. When the patient was tested, it was found that he had intra op cultures with group B Streptococcus  pyogenes  (Strep pyogenes). CT scans were also conducted to analyze his right lateral periorbital tissue. Subsequently, the patient was admitted to the ICU, where a wound vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) was placed on his right eye. Once the NPWT was complete, the patient was prescribed antibiotics and was able to improve the health within his right eye.
