dc.description.abstract |
A liver abscess is a pus-filled cavity within the liver, usually caused by a biliary
tract source, portal venous system, and abdominal trauma.
This is both retrospective and prospective study, facility based-study. Study
period conducted from 2008-2013. A total of 54 patients (40 males and 14
females) were studied. Age group was between 1-90 years old. All of them with a
known history of liver abscess and were send for aspiration from different
hospitals. This study was done assess the role of the ultrasound in diagnosis and
treatment of liver abscess.
The procedure is started by normal abdominal ultrasound scan for whole
abdomen to determine the exact site, size and echogenicity of the abscess. The
machine, the probe, and the whole patient’s abdomen were sterilized. 5cc of local
anesthesia was injected at the site of procedure. Then, small-sized are totally
aspirated to dryness & washed with a few cc of normal saline, without further
action. The site is then covered with a plaster, larger sized abscess are drained by
inserting by a drainage catheter mostly by Seldinger technique & the catheter is
secured in site for about 2 days until the abscess is totally drained & sometimes a
saline wash is done through the catheter. Data obtained were analyzed using the
statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 20 as well as Microsoft Excel
2007.
In summary of the results of this study we showed that the males affected more
than females and the right lobe of the liver more than the left lobe. The most
typical ultrasound features of the liver abscess are they are usually hypoechoic,
well defined and thick walled. Most of the abscesses can be completely aspirated
in one session without the need for catheter drainage.After aspiration, mostly, the
abscess is yellowish in color and these features are probably of pyogenic liver |
