Splenic abscess: percutaneous drainage

RM Lerner and RF Spataro

Experience with percutaneous drainage in four cases of splenic abscess is presented. Percutaneous drainage and antibiotics were curative in three of four cases. The one case not adequately treated by antibiotics and percutaneous drainage was also complicated by ascites and multilocular collections. Percutaneous drainage in this case did not adversely affect subsequent curative surgery. Percutaneous catheter drainage of splenic abscess under radiologic guidance can be a safe, effective treatment.
