We reported that percutaneous catheter drainage was effective for splenicabscess.
2
An eighty-six-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for bacterial septic shock due to splenicabscess.
3
Percutaneous splenicabscess drainage was urgently performed under ultrasonography, and then the general state of the patient rapidly improved.
4
The mold Aureobasidium pullulans was isolated on several nutrient media from a splenicabscess in a patient with disseminated lymphoma.
5
CT-guided drainage of splenicabscess seems to be a safe and effective alternative to surgery, allowing preservation of the spleen.
6
One patient had a splenicabscess and there was strong clinical evidence for an infected splenic infarct in the second patient.
7
Conclusion: Splenicabscess is an uncommon entity that can be treated percutaneously.
8
Objective: The objective of our study was to determine the current role of percutaneous CT-guided drainage as an alternative to surgical treatment of splenicabscesses.
