[Right subphrenic abscess secondary to amebic hepatic abscess].
Subphrenic abscess is a rare complication of amebic liver abscess, its diagnosis and treatment are problematic. We present one patient with a right subphrenic abscess secondary to amebiasis. Treatment with chloramphenicol and percutaneous drainage had good response. Radiological intervention is an option in treatment of this kind of complication.
