Background:

  • Retroperitoneal abscesses are uncommon but serious intra-abdominal infections.
  • Appendiceal pathology is a potential, though rare, cause of retroperitoneal abscess formation.

Observation:

  • A case of a retroperitoneal abscess with a confirmed appendicular origin is presented.
  • The diagnostic pathway involved imaging and clinical assessment to identify the source.

Findings:

  • The study analyzes the diagnostic process, emphasizing the challenges in identifying appendiceal origin.
  • Therapeutic approaches, including surgical intervention and antibiotic treatment, are discussed.
  • A literature review explores cecal appendix pathology and its infrequent association with the urinary tract.
