A rare case of hepatic abscess developed in a patient after sigmoid diverticulum perforation surgery. This report highlights the unusual occurrence of liver abscess as a complication of this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Hepatology
  • Surgical Complications

Background:

  • Sigmoid diverticulosis is a common condition, often treated surgically for complications like perforation.
  • Diverticular perforation can lead to various intra-abdominal infections and abscesses.

Observation:

  • A patient who underwent surgery for sigmoid diverticulum perforation developed a hepatic abscess.
  • The abscess was identified post-operatively in the liver.

Findings:

  • Hepatic abscess is an infrequent complication following sigmoid diverticulum perforation.
  • The case underscores the potential for distant abscess formation from a colonic source.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should consider hepatic abscess in the differential diagnosis of post-operative fever or abdominal pain in patients with a history of sigmoid diverticulum perforation.

  • Further investigation into the mechanisms of intra-abdominal abscess migration is warranted.
