Perinephric abscess as a rare cause of acute abdomen: A case report

Abstract

Renal and perinephric abscesses are usually confined within the Gerota's fascia and treated with conservatively. We herein present a case with peritonitis caused by the spillage of perinephritic abscess into the abdomen through the Gerota’s fascia, which is clinical outcome. A 41-year-old female patient was admitted to emergency room with complaints of abdominal pain, bloating, fever, and fatigue. During the operation, an abscess of approximately 20x15cm in size was observed to extend into the abdominal cavity through the Gerota's fascia, causing secondary peritonitis. On the 20th postoperative day, the patient was uneventfully discharged. Delay in diagnosis of renal and perinephric abscesses can lead to fatal complications. Laparotomy is a life-saving approach in cases that cannot be treated with percutaneous drainage, when the abscess is large and causes complications such as strictures, fistulas, or secondary peritonitis, by extension through the Gerota's fascia, as in our case.

Akut batının nadir bir nedeni olarak perinefrik apse: Olgu sunumu

Abstract

Renal ve perinefrik apseler genellikle Gerota fasyasında sınırlı kalırlar ve konservatif yöntemlerle tedavi edilirler. Bu çalışmada perinefritik apsenin nadir görülen klinik bir sonucu olarak Gerota fasyasından karın içerisine açılması sonucu sekonder peritonite sebep olduğu olguyu sunmayı amaçladık. 41 yaşında kadın hasta karın ağrısı, karında şişlik, ateş ve halsizlik şikayetleriyle hastanemiz acil servisine başvurdu. Acil opere edilen hastada Gerota fasyasından karın içine uzanan yaklaşık 20x15 cm çapında apse ve sekonder peritonit saptandı. Postoperatif 20. gün hasta şifa ile hastaneden taburcu edildi. Perinefritik apselerin tanısında gecikme olması öldürücü komplikasyonlara yol açabilir. Gerota fasyasını aşan, striktür, fistül veya bizim olgumuzda olduğu gibi sekonder peritonitin geliştiği ve perkütan drenajla tedavi edilemeyen geniş apselerde laparotomi hayat kurtarıcıdır.
