Colles' fascia

A rare condition, it is a bacterial infection that tears through the body's fascia, destroying all tissue in its path.

Vastum ubique silentium, secreti colles; fumantia procul tecta; nemo exploratoribus obvius, is what Tacitus calls facies victoriæ.

Valve as in type, but with a transverse fascia; stri, 10 in 10 , curved or bent near the ends.

In some forms the fascia is marked by very faint, short stri on the margin.
