Pyogenic liver abscess following perforated appendicitis
Abstract
Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is a little-known complication of appendicitis that once was very common, but now is so rare as to be omitted from most textbooks. In this report we describe a recent case of post-appendicitis PLA in order to raise awareness about this unusual complication of appendicitis. Keywords: Pyogenic liver abscess, PLA, Appendicitis
