  • Title: Prostatic abscess: imaging with transrectal ultrasound. Case report.
    Author: Rørvik J, Daehlin L.
    Journal: Scand J Urol Nephrol; 1989; 23(4):307-8. PubMed ID: 2688072.
    Abstract:
    A 50-year-old man presented with acute urinary retention and urosepsis. Transrectal ultrasonography (TUS) of the prostate demonstrated an abscess. Transperineal US-guided aspiration of pus, urinary bladder catheterization together with systemically administered antibiotics led to an uneventful recovery. TUS was a rapid diagnostic aid for differentiation between prostatitis and prostatic abscess; the appearance of an hypoechoic process within the prostate suggests an abscess.
