title: [Therapeutic effectiveness of CT-controlled drainage puncture in amebic abscesses of the liver].
abstract: Amebic liver abscesses are the most frequent clinical manifestations of the extra-intestinal amebiasis and have to be considered as a serious complication in the course of disease. The abscesses have by their risk of rupturing and bacterial superinfection quoad vitam an unfavourable prognosis. CT-guided relief punctures can, as it is demonstrated by two cases of critical amebic abscesses, effectively improve the therapy with systemic amebicides, prevent imminent rupture and contribute to the healing of the abscesses. Thus a surgical treatment of the abscess was not necessary.
