1.A case of abdominal abscess ruptured into bladder
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 1999;232(1):84-84
This paper introduced a case of rupture abdominal abscess in to the bladder in Hµ Nam Hospital in 1998. The symptoms included high fever in first week, pain in the lower gastric region, patient admitted to hospital due to urination with condensed pus (a week) and dysentery syndrome. The patients did not use the antibiotic in the first 10 days, and used the oral antibiotic at low doses in the following days. The clinical features, X-ray film, needle aspiration allowed to concluded that this is a case of abdominal abscess ruptured in to the bladder.

Tubo-ovarian abscess in pregnancy is extremely rare. Its occurrence increases the maternal and fetal morbidities and mortalities. The clinical presentation is variable ranging from asymptomatic abscess to diffuse peritonitis. In this report, we present a rare case of tubo-ovarian abscess complicating a pregnancy on its 6 weeks and 5 days age of gestation. The patient presented with frank peritonitis. Internal examination revealed uterine, adnexal and cervical tenderness with no masses palpated. A laparotomy was done and intra-operative findings showed an 8 x 4 cm-sized, right, ruptured tubo-ovarian abscess with purulent contamination of the whole pelvic cavity. Right salpingooophorectomy was performed and parenteral antibiotics were given. The pregnancy was eventually carried to term and the patient delivered by repeat low segment cesarean section without fetal and maternal complications.

Acute abdominal pain during pregnancy may be urologic origin. In this report, perinephric abscess was treated by percutaneous catheter drainage until a term delivery was achieved. We have experienced a case of perinephric abscess of pregnancy and reported with brief review of related literatures.

Eggerthella lenta is an anaerobic, non-spore-forming, non-motile, gram-positive bacillus that can be isolated from human feces and a few other clinical specimens. Bacteremia caused by the organism is rare but, when present, is always of clinical significance. E. lenta is an emerging pathogen that has been under-recognized because of difficulties with its laboratory identification. Few reports on E. lenta infections and the optimal treatment thereof are available. We describe a case of bacteremia caused by E. lenta in an elderly patient with an intra-abdominal abscess. We also review the current literature.

The authors evaluated ultlrasonographic findings of surgically or pathologically proven anterior abdominalwall lesion in 17 cases. The results were follows; 1. Ultrasonography is an accurate, convenient and noninvasive method to detect and determine the extent of anterior abdominal wall lesion. 2. Peritoneal fascia interface is animportant landmark in differenciation between intraperitoneal and abdominal wall lesion. 3. Sonographic differenciation of abscess and hematoma from tumor was impossible.

Conventional radiologic methods had given the limited informations about itraabdominal abscesses. Today,however, CT and ultrasongraphy provide detailed anatomic location, number and dimension of intraabdominal abscessand also permit percutaneous placement of catheter large enough to effect drainage. Percutaneous catheter drainageof intraabdominal abscess now offers an alternative to surgery. This simple method of mechanical drainage, whenemployed with systemic antibiotics, can be successful in treating the majority of intraabdominal abscesses.Authors analysed 24 cases of percutaneous abdominal abscess drainage performed at chonnam Natinal UniverstiyHospital from May 1985 to June 1986. The results were as follows: 1. The sites of abscesses; liver in 14cases(58.3%), psoas muscle in 3 cases(12.5%), subphrenic space in 3 cases (12.5%), pelvic cavity in 2 cases(8.3%),perirenal space in 2 cases(8.3%). 2. Complications during or after procedures were minor in the majority of cases.3. Average duration of drainage was as follows: 7.8days in liver abscess, 15.3 days in psoas abscess, 6 days inpelvic abscess, 7 days in subphrenic abscess.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the treatment of choice for cholelithiasis. It is used more commonly than open cholecystectomy because of the convenience of a short hospital stay and earlier return to work, and for aesthetic reasons. Nevertheless, there are complications that are encountered more frequently than in open cholecystectomy due to the smaller operating window. Here, we report the case of a 73-year-old woman who underwent a laparoscopic cholecystectomy 15 years earlier and now presented with abrupt abdominal pain. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed a past cholecystectomy with an abscess pocket abutting the abdominal wall, with a stone inside it. Incision and drainage were done and the stone was removed laparoscopically. This case shows that late complications, such as abscess formation due to lost GB stones during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, can occur, even after 15 years.

The authors retrospectively reviewed the efficacy of percutaneous catheter drainage in treatment of abdominal abscess associated with fistulas. One hundred sixty four consecutive patients with abdominal abscesses drained percutaneously since 1985 at department of Radiology, Wonkwang University Hospital were studied. Among these, 13 patients were found to have fistulous communications to the biliary duct, the intestinal tract, or the renal calyx. Eleven patients (85%) were successfully treated without surgical intervention while two patients (15%) needed surgical drainage and fistulectomy. The duration of drainage ranged from 7 days to 9 months. Initial drainage of abdominal abscess was performed in the hospital, but 5 of 13 patients were discharged with a tube in place and were followed up as outpatients. In conclusion, percutaneous catheter drainage is an effective and safe means of treating abdominal abscesses with fistulas.
