We herein report a 62-year-old man with an extensive sacral decubitus ulcer complicated by an epidural abscess. An epidural abscess is a rare disease, but it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a deep infection with decubitus. Moreover, the diagnosis may be late in such instances and should be carefully considered when a patient has paralysis.

Epiglottic abscess is rare sequelae of acute epiglottitis. It occurs commonly in adult although acute epiglottitis commonly occur in children. The presentation includes fever with odynophagia. The diagnosis is based on high index of suspicion especially when oral examinations reveal normal findings. We report a case of adult epiglottic abscess which was treated with incision and drainage. The o...

Ebsteins anomaly is a rare complex congenital heart disorder with malformation of the tricuspid valve and right ventricle associated to left shunt. Severity can range from asymptomatic severely debilitated. We have discussed case 12-year-old female patient for cerebral abscess drainage.

Anastomotic leakage following rectal resection is a serious and fearful complication, and may cause presacral abscess and/or peritonitis. To our knowledge, massive hematochezia secondary to presacral abscess caused by anastomotic leakage has not yet been reported in the literature. We observed this rare and life-threatening complication in three patients who were successfully treated with a sim...

Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is a surgical weight-loss procedure. Splenic abscess is a rare complication of SG. Four cases of splenic abscess after SG have been reported, all managed by surgical intervention. We report the first documented case of multiple splenic abscesses following SG managed conservatively by an integrated medical treatment.

Primary psoas abscess is rare in neonates [1]. Spondylodiscitis, although reported in older children, is extremely uncommon in newborns [2]. Co-existence of these two conditions is even rarer and reported in adult patients [3]. We report a case of neonatal spondylodiscitis with primary psoas abscess following infection with methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), hitherto unreported...

Amoebic liver abscess is a common disease, especially in endemic areas, but it is a rare cause of inferior vena cava (IVC) obstruction, with only a few cases appearing in the literature. We report three cases of amoebic liver abscess complicated with obstruction of the IVC and which responded to conservative treatment or radiological intervention.

The occurrence of a rare ovarian abscess, spontaneously drained through the vagina after an abdominal hysterectomy is described. The treatment was an oophorectomy. The various forms of primary ovarian abscess are discussed in connection with these observations. This case illustrates the need for adequate manipulation of the gonad during pelvic surgery in order to avoid parenchymal contamination...

Aerococcus urinae, a previously misidentified pathogen, has become increasingly recognized to cause severe and even fatal infections. Aerococcus-related perineal abscess infections have not previously been reported in the literature. Most reported cases of infections caused by Aerococcus are urinary tract infections, bacteremia, and even rare cases of endocarditis. We report an unusual case of ...

Primary mycobacterial infection of the sternum is extremely uncommon. We present a case of cold abscess of sternum successfully treated with four drug antituberculous therapy. Tuberculous sternal osteomyelitis is rare entity and one should suspect tuberculosis in a case of chronic abscess over the sternum.
