    Abstract:
    A 79-year-old woman with a fistula between a subphrenic abscess and the fundus of the stomach was successfully treated with n-Butyl-2-Cyanoacrylate. Conservative management had failed. Clinical presentation, treatment progress and imaging findings by computed tomography scan, ultrasound, gastroscopy and fluoroscopy are presented, along with a brief review of the relevant literature. Une femme de 79 ans ayant une fistule entre un abcès sous-phrénique et la grosse tubérosité gastrique a reçu un traitement au n-Butyl-2-Cyanoacrylate qui a réussi. La prise en charge prudente avait échoué. Les auteurs exposent la présentation clinique, les progrès du traitement et les observations tomodensitométriques, échographiques, gastroscopiques et fluoroscopiques, de même qu’une brève analyse bibliographique.
