Abstract

|
|
Author has analysed the ultrasonographic findings In 24 cases of liver abscess which were confirmed by needle aspiration and operation during the period from June 1982 to July 1985.
The result were as follows:
1. Among total 24 cases, male was 16 cases an4 female was ·8 cases. The majority of patients were in older individuals between the age of 40-69 years.
2. Right lobe was the most common involed site of liver abscess. Multiple lesions were 3 cases and all progenic. All the 5 cases of amebic abscess were single lesion and situated in right lobe.
3. Sonographic appearance of Pygenic abscess was variable from anechoic to highly echogenic and usually well defined. The majority of amebic abscess were well defined and in all cases round or oval anechoic and hypoechoic lesions which shown homogeneously weak internal echo and variable through transmission.
4. Poorly defined hypoechoic or slightly echogenic lesion with peripheral echo-free halo were proved to he early abscess in follow up study.
5. Analysis of sonogaphic findings of liver abscess with corresponding pathologic change enabled to make differentiation from other intrahepatic lesion. Early diagnosis of liver abscess by using ultrasound considered to be treated effectively without significant mortality.
