  • Title: [Giant abdominal abscesses--a hitherto unrecognized disease].
    Author: Ballmer F, Teuscher J.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1986 Nov 22; 116(47):1645-8. PubMed ID: 3798061.
    Abstract:
    Two cases of giant intraabdominal supra-colic abscess are described. Since the clinical symptoms are often unimpressive and nonspecific, there was a delay in diagnosis. The causes were unrecognized perforated peptic ulcers in both patients. Pathophysiology, incidence and possible localizations of intraabdominal abscesses are discussed. A review of intraabdominal anatomy is important for an understanding of the peritoneal spaces in which abscesses can occur.
