Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) has always been
an important and life-threatening scenario and its
diagnosis has always been a challenge for physicians.
Liver abscesses are frequently encountered in pediatric
population in the tropical and subtropical regions. We
present a case of pyogenic liver abscess with caecal
perforative peritonitis. Due to the critical clinical
condition caused by the sepsis and contained rupture of
the abscess we opted for open surgical drainage, with an
acceptable postoperative protocol. Clinical presentation,
diagnostic techniques and current management options
are discussed.
