Background:
Seminal vesicle abscess (SVA) is a rare pathologic entity, usually diagnosed by transrectal ultrasonography and computerized tomography scan.
Aim:
Report a new case.
Case Report:
We report the successful management of a seminal vesicle abscess with percutaneous transvesical drainage in a 60-year-old diabetic patient. Computed tomography scan has been used for the diagnosis and the guidance of the percutaneous drainage.
Conclusion:
Seminal vesicle abscess is a very rare pathology with no specific symptoms. Transvesical drainage can be proposed successfully.
