| الوصف: | A 53-year-old woman presented to the surgical emergency with complaints of high-grade fever accompanied by chills for 15 days and pain in the right upper abdomen for 10 days. X-ray of the abdomen and chest X-ray revealed free gas under the right hemidiaphragm. As there were no signs of generalised or localised peritonitis, emergency laparotomy was postponed. Subsequently, a contrast-enhanced computerised tomography scan of the abdomen suggested an emphysematous liver abscess, which was managed by ultrasonography-guided drainage of the abscess cavity. |
