  • Title: Solitary splenic abscess: a new complication of splenic salvage treated by percutaneous drainage.
    Author: Shah HR, Cué JI, Boyd CM, Cone JB.
    Journal: J Trauma; 1987 Mar; 27(3):337-8. PubMed ID: 3560282.
    Abstract:
    A patient sustained a gunshot injury to the spleen. The spleen was left intact in an attempt to maintain normal immune function in the patient. The patient developed a splenic abscess as a result of the injury, a complication of splenic salvage that we have not found reported before. The abscess was treated successfully via CT-guided percutaneous drainage.
