Abstract:
Emphysematous liver abscesses (ELAs), characterized by the presence of gas within the hepatic parenchyma, are an uncommon and potentially lifethreatening entity. ELAs with clinical presentations mimicking hollow viscus perforation pose a diagnostic conundrum for clinicians. This series highlights the diagnostic challenges posed by such atypical presentations and emphasizes the importance of considering hepatic pathology in the differential diagnosis of pneumoperitoneum. Our objective is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the diverse clinical presentations, diagnostic challenges, and therapeutic strategies employed in managing this unique subset of liver abscesses.
