Abstract
|
|
|
|
Duodenal abscess is a form of phlegmonous enterocolitis and is a rarely reported disease throughout the entire world. Duodenal abscess mostly develops from complications of duodenal ulcer perforation, and may result in a clinically fatal course because it is difficult to differentiate from some diseases such as gastric ulcer, gastric cancer, hepatobiliary disorders etc.. The therapeutic gold standard is surgical intervention including abscess removal and drainage. We experienced a case of duodenal abscess that expressed non-specific symptoms, weight loss and epigastric pain, and diagnosed by gastrointestinal endoscopy, abdominal computed tomography. We successfully treated it through surgical intervention with intravenous antibiotics.
