Reteroperitoneal Abscess: A Rare Presentation of Duodenal Perforation.
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: Long standing duodenal perforation presenting as retroperitoneal abscess. Case Report: We report a case of 60 year old female of sealed duodenal perforation presenting as retroperitoneal abscess. CECT abdomen revealed abscess in paraduodenal, paraaortic and paracolic gutter. On pus culture it came out to be E. Coli positive. Endoscopy revealed healing ulcer in posterior duodenal wall. Patient was treated conservatively using percutaneous drainage and IV antibiotics. Conclusion: Any reteroperitoneal abscess of unknown origin should include CECT and upper GI endoscopy to rule out duodenal perforation as its cause.
