Abstract
A 66-year-old female presented to our hospital with diffuse abdominal pain and diarrhea. An abdominal CT showed a splenic abscess of 9.9 x 6.1 x 6.5 cm. A conservative approach with US-guided percutaneous drainage and antibiotic treatment was performed successfully. Splenic abscess is a rare complication of Salmonella spp infection. In selected cases, percutaneous drainage can be performed safely with good efficacy.
