Prostatic abscess, a rare condition in men over 50, often linked to immunosuppression, requires prompt management. This case highlights successful CT-guided percutaneous drainage for a large prostatic abscess.

Area of Science:

Urology
Radiology
Infectious Diseases

Background:

Prostatic abscess is an uncommon condition, primarily affecting men over 50.
Key risk factors include diabetes, HIV infection, and chronic renal failure, which compromise the immune system.

Observation:

Clinical presentation typically involves symptoms of bladder irritation.
A 60-year-old male patient presented with a large prostatic abscess.

Findings:

The management strategy combines antibiotic therapy with abscess drainage.
CT-guided percutaneous drainage was successfully employed for the large prostatic abscess in this case.

Implications:

Minimally invasive techniques like CT-guided drainage offer effective treatment options for prostatic abscess.

Keywords:
