Solitary splenic abscess: a new complication of splenic salvage treated by percutaneous drainage. 1987

H R Shah, and J I Cué, and C M Boyd, and J B Cone

A patient sustained a gunshot injury to the spleen. The spleen was left intact in an attempt to maintain normal immune function in the patient. The patient developed a splenic abscess as a result of the injury, a complication of splenic salvage that we have not found reported before. The abscess was treated successfully via CT-guided percutaneous drainage.
