Abstract
- In periesophageal abscesses, the inflammatory reaction occurs on the surrounding esophagus and pus cavity formation accompanies complications of endoscopic procedures or esophageal perforation induced by sharp foreign bodies. Here, we report the treatment of a periesophageal abscess with endoscopic ultrasonography-guided incision and drainage, and broad-spectrum antibiotics. Follow-up endoscopy revealed no lesion other than the incision scar. We report a case of periesophageal abscess that was treated non-surgically and review the relevant literature.
