Abstract

A 16-year-old male was operated for peritonitis from perforated appendicitis with the finding of a large abscess in the pelvic and right iliac fossa (RIF). He returned 12 days after discharge, complaining of fever and diffuse abdominal pain. An urgent abdominal ultrasound examination showed a large deep pelvic collection covered by the bladder and small bowel loops, with a further collection in the RIF. The white cell count (WCC) was 25,980 mm(-3) and the C-reactive protein (CRP) 23.70 mg/dL. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
