Abstract
|
|
|
|
We report two cases of adrenal abscesses that occurred following a Histoacryl?(N-butyl-2-cyanocrylate) injection for variceal bleeding. Patients had been diagnosed with alcoholic liver cirrhosis and gastric varices bleeding and received a Histoacryl?injection for the variceal bleeding. Patients had fever and abdominal tenderness and were diagnosed with an adrenal abscess at 2 months following the Histoacryl?@ injection. One patient received open drainage and the other underwent percutaneous drainage. When a patient has previously been injected with Histoacryl?for the treatment of variceal bleeding and presents with fever, an evaluation for an unusual complication such as adrenal abscess is recommended.
