[Liver abscess of appendicular origin : an always possible complication (author's transl)].
Though recognized and described in detail during the first decades of the century, liver abscess due to pyogens of appendicular origin appears to have been somewhat forgotten by contemporary physicians. This complication is still possible, however, and can disturb the postoperative course of an appendicectomy, as illustrated by the case reported. Previously of very poor prognosis, the outcome usually being fatal, this has been transformed by the availability of antibiotics and improvements in medico-surgical techniques.
