Abstract

A 13-year-old girl of splenic abscess was reported. She had past history of perforative appendicitis. A month later, splenic abscess was detected using ultrasonography. Conservative treatment had been continued but multiple abscess were not diminished. So she was transffered to our hospital for splenectomy. Resected spleen was markedly enlarged and involved multiple abscess. There are two types of splenic abscess. One is solitary abscess, and another is multiple ones. The former was caused by primary splenic infection and the latter was from the infection of the other organs. Our case had previous history of acute appendicitis and abscess formation was multiple, so it is supposed that her splenic abscess was caused by appendicitis. She was discharged from our hospital 27 days after operation and she had no complaint on her life.
