SUPRAELEVATOR ABSCESS WITH EXTENSION TO THE RIGHT PERIVESICAL SPACE
Abstract
Resume
Background One of the most frequent causes of visits to the emergency room for surgical pathology are perineal abscesses, and supralevator abscesses, it is a rare subtype but necessary to suspect, to make a correct diagnosis and treatment.
Clinical case: Male patient comes to the emergency room with proctalgia and fever. Abdominal-pelvic CT is performed and a supralevator abscess is oriented, performing surgical debridement.
Conclusion: Given the suspicion of a supralevator abscess, it would be indicated to perform a pelvic MRI for a correct diagnosis, but a pelvic CT scan is feasible. The drainage route will depend on the origin and evolution of the abscess.
