[Percutaneous drainage of renal and perirenal abscesses. 2 case reports].
Undetected and untreated renal and perinephritic abcesses are associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Thanks to the technique of ultrasonography and computed tomography, it is now possible to identify a suspected abscess early on. As treatment, percutaneous drainage has proved both effective and associated with only few side effects. Two cases are reported, one with renal, one with perinephritic abscess, both of which were successfully treated with percutaneous drainage.
