Emphtsematous Liver Abscess in Diabetic Patient: Two Cases Report
Abstract
- There has not been any report on massive air-containing liver abscess in diabetic patients, although
emphysematous cholecystitis or pyelonephritis is a well-known complication in them. Authors report two cases
of emphysematous liver abscess in diabetic patient, which showed typical findings of massive air-containing
hepatic abscess on ultrasonography and computed tomography, but very poor progrosis in spite of immediate
and successful percutanoeus drainage procedure.
