title: [Computerized tomography in the diagnosis of abscesses of the posterior pararenal space secondary to surgical interventions on the abdomen].
abstract: The authors analyse the possibilities offered by CT in the diagnosis of the abscesses of the posterior pararenal space (secondary to surgical operation) relating 10 cases observed. The features described by many authors in the latest literature are compared with those observed in the cases reported, showing the real diagnostic sensibility of CT in these situations of relative urgency. The panoramic image offered by CT is particularly useful in the "blind " examinations and in exactly directing the surgical approach or, in alternative, the echo-guided percutaneous puncture of the abscess.
