Tranebjerg Sygehus, Samsø.

Subphrenic omental bursa abscess is frequently overlooked and the overall mortality is 70%. Early diagnosis and drainage improve the prognosis considerably. In cases with abdominal symptoms followed by pyrexia, possibly with signs of sepsis, and pleural effusion but with no or only slight findings on objective clinical examination, subphrenic abscess should be suspected and a scanning of the abdomen should be performed.
