- Abstract
- We report a case of liver abscess secondary to appendicitis which was due to a wire within the appendix. Appendicitis was asymptomatic, probably because of its retrocaecal position and/or previous antibiotic treatment. The abscess was treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics and percutaneous drainage, followed by a second stage appendicectomy. This case illustrates the value of gastrointestinal radiological investigations before considering the abscess as cryptogenetic.
