title: Clinical radiological management of an uncommon perinephric abscess.
abstract: The authors describe an uncommon case of a huge perinephric abscess with a gas-fluid level occupying the upper left abdomen. A rational sequence of radiological diagnostic methods such as plain film, ultrasound, CT, and combined retrograde urogram with contrast filling of percutaneous drainage led to correct management.
