Subphrenic abscess following percutaneous liver needle biopsy
Abstract:
A 65-yr-old diabetic woman had air in the bile ducts after a choledochoduodenostomy. Following a liver needle biopsy (LNB) she developed a subphrenic abscess with an air-fluid level. Presence of air in the bile ducts in a diabetic patient is a predisposing factor for infection and a contraindication for LNB.
