A Case of a Periproctal Abscess with a Liver Abscess

Abstract

The periproctal abscess is not uncommon, but we encountered a patient with a liver abscess in whom pyretolysis was not achieved after drainage. The patient was immediately admitted due to an abscess in the perianal region, and incisional drainage was performed, but pyretolysis was not achieved. Abdominal echography revealed a liver abscess measuring 8 cm in the S6 area. The patient was referred to a general hospital, and on the same day, percutaneous transhepatic aspiration drainage (PTAD) was performed. In general, drainage for a periproctal abscess achieves pyretolysis; however, we report a patient with a liver abscess in whom pyretolysis was not achieved.
