Transrectal longitudinal ultrasonography of prostatic abscess.

Area of Science:

• Urology
• Medical Imaging

Background:

• Prostatic abscess diagnosis can be challenging.
• Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management.

Observation:

• Two cases of prostatic abscess are presented.
• Transrectal longitudinal ultrasonography using electronic linear scanning was employed for diagnosis.

Findings:

• Transrectal ultrasonography enabled accurate diagnosis of prostatic abscess.
• Transperineal aspiration of the abscesses was performed successfully and easily using this technique.

Implications:

• Transrectal ultrasonography is a valuable tool for diagnosing prostatic abscess.
• This imaging modality facilitates minimally invasive procedures like transperineal aspiration.
