    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The objective of our study was to determine the current role of percutaneous CT-guided drainage as an alternative to surgical treatment of splenic abscesses. CONCLUSION: Splenic abscess is an uncommon entity that can be treated percutaneously. CT-guided drainage of splenic abscess seems to be a safe and effective alternative to surgery, allowing preservation of the spleen.
