title: [Prostatic abscess. Contribution of the x-ray computed tomography. Apropos of a case].
abstract: We reported a case of prostatic abscess due to staphylococeus aureus developed in a chronic alcoholic patient. The clinical symptoms and signs were largely masked by prior antibiotic therapy. Computed axial tomographic scanning of the pelvis made the diagnosis and demonstrated the resolution of the prostatic abscess following antibiotic therapy and spontaneous rupture to the urethra.
