Right subhepatic abscess after cesarean section. A case report.
A right subhepatic abscess complicated a case of cesarean delivery. The absence of an obvious pelvic infection or nongynecologic etiology of the abscess made the case particularly unusual. Broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy and percutaneous abscess drainage under the guidance of computed tomography resulted in a satisfactory resolution of the abscess.
