title: [Computerized tomography in the diagnosis of subdiaphragmatic abscess].
abstract: Examination of 49 patients suspected of the presence of a suppurative process in the subdiaphragmatic space was performed. The use of computed tomography allowed the author to exclude the subdiaphragmatic abscess in 22 (44.9%) of the patients, in the others the exact localization of the abscess, its size and relationships with the neighbouring organs were determined. Results of the computed tomography were of great importance in choice of the surgical tactics for treatment of the patients.
