Anomalies in seven patients with splenic abscess were invariably observed on ultrasound imaging despite absent or misleading clinical symptomatology splenomegaly was detected in only 3 cases. The abscess was multiple in 6 cases with perisplenic extension in 2 patients. Splenectomy was performed in only 2 cases. In one patient, diagnostic and therapeutic fine needle puncture of spleen was performed. Comparison with CT scan imaging is presented with respect to 3 patients. Ultrasound imaging can suggest a diagnosis of intrasplenic abscess and fine needle puncture is not contraindicated.
