Post-traumatic pyogenic liver abscess is a rare complication of blunt abdominal trauma. This case highlights a multilocular liver abscess and pleural empyema requiring partial hepatectomy and pleural drainage for successful treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Post-traumatic pyogenic liver abscess is an uncommon but serious condition.
  • Blunt abdominal trauma can lead to intra-abdominal infections, including liver abscesses.

Observation:

  • A 38-year-old male presented with a 3-month prodrome of symptoms preceding the diagnosis.
  • Imaging revealed a multilocular liver abscess and associated pleural empyema.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent surgical intervention, including partial hepatectomy and pleural drainage.
  • Prompt diagnosis and aggressive management are crucial for favorable outcomes.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering liver abscess in patients with a history of abdominal trauma, even with a delayed presentation.
