myonecrosis
Gas gangrene (also known as clostridial myonecrosis and myonecrosis) is a bacterial infection that produces tissue gas in gangrene. This deadly form of gangrene usually is caused by Clostridium perfringens bacteria. About 1,000 cases of gas gangrene are reported yearly in the United States.Myonecrosis is a condition of necrotic damage, specific to muscle tissue. It is often seen in infections with C. perfringens or any of myriad soil-borne anaerobic bacteria. Bacteria cause myonecrosis by specific exotoxins. These microorganisms are opportunistic and, in general, enter the body through significant skin breakage. Gangrenous infection by soil-borne bacteria was common in the combat injuries of soldiers well into the 20th century, because of non-sterile field surgery and the basic nature of care for severe projectile wounds.Other causes of myonecrosis include envenomation by snakes of the genus Bothrops (family Viperidae), ischemic necrosis, caused by vascular blockage (e.g., diabetes type II), tumours that block or hoard blood supply, and disseminated intravascular coagulation or other thromboses.

myonecrosis
Myonecrosis is a condition in which the death of muscle tissue, or necrosis, occurs due to lack of blood supply to the tissue, infection, or other causes. This leads to pain, swelling, and often systemic illness. In untreated or severe cases, myonecrosis may potentially be life-threatening. It can occur anywhere in the body, but it's more common in the extremities. Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause, which may include surgical removal of the dead tissue, antibiotic therapy, or revascularization procedures.
