  • Title: Splenic abscess after appendicitis.
    Author: Dekkers GH, Dejong CH, Welten RJ.
    Journal: Acta Chir Belg; 2000 Feb; 100(1):34-6. PubMed ID: 10776526.
    Abstract:
    We report an appendicitis complicated by a splenic abscess in a patient with polycystic kidneys and multiple cystic lesions in the liver. Clinical decision making for operative intervention was made difficult by the extensive intra-abdominal abnormalities seen on computer tomography. Finally curation was achieved by splenectomy and appendectomy.
