Peri-rectal Abscess
Snehalata Topgi, M4
January 2014
• 19 yr old female w/ pmh Type1DM (dx 2006) presents to ED with L gluteal pain
• Pt noticed small, tender lump on L buttock 2.5 wks prior, which became enlarged and tender
• Saw PCP 5 days prior, dx with perirectal abscess and given PO Keflex course; I&D not performed
• 3 days prior had brown, malodorous drainage and returned to clinic; Bactrim added
• 1 day prior, having 101.9 fever, chills, worsening pain; decided to come to ED
Brief Clinical Hx
• Hypotensive SBP 80-90s, tachycardic 128, RR 18-20s, initially afebrile then spiked to 100.6, breathing well on room air.
• Blood glucose 400s, POC ketones negative. Lactate 2.6. Blood and urine cultures obtained.
• CT A/P ordered. • Patient started on IVF, Ertrapenem. General surgery was
consulted to evaluate abscess; performed I&D with drain placed at bedside.
• Patient was then transferred to MICU
• CONSTITUTIONAL: Awake, alert, cooperative• LUNGS: No increased work of breathing, good air
exchange, cta bilaterally, no crackles or wheezing • CV: regular rate and rhythm, normal S1 and S2, no murmur
noted and no edema • ABDOMEN: normal bowel sounds, soft, non-distended,
non-tender and no masses palpated • MSK: there is no redness, warmth, or swelling of the joints • NEUROLOGIC: AOx3, no focal deficits • SKIN: L medial gluteal: large area of erythema that is warm,
tender to palpation, firm; drain in place with no active draining at time of exam
Significant Physical Exam
• Septic shock
• Perirectal abscess• Fistula• Perforation• Nectrotizing fasciitis
Differential Diagnosis
• Transperineal Ultrasound– Detection of fistulous tracts and fluid collections in
preoperative planning, with high sensitivities of 85%.
• Xray, KUB• CT with contrast– In one retrospective study, CT scanning for perirectal
abscesses confirmed by surgical drainage yielded a sensitivity of 77%, with the false-negative patients being significantly more likely to be immunocompromised. (Caliste X, Nazir S, Goode T, et al. Sensitivity of computed tomography in
detection of perirectal abscess. Am Surg. Feb 2011;77(2):166-8.) • MRI
Options for Diagnostic Imaging
• Perirectal abscess extending to retroperitoneum
Diagnosis from CT
Normal Abdomen, Sagittal Anatomy
www.imaios.com
Hypodense fluid collection with multiple gas foci in the left perianal region .Abscess extends into the retroperitoneum, adjacent to the left perirectal Region.
Case Patient
Air is visualized tracking from this the abscess into the retroperitoneum, encasing the IVC and the left renal hila, to the level of the diaphragmatic hiatus.

Lower Abdomen, Coronal Anatomy
Concern for a fistulous connection with the rectum and thesigmoid colon. Cannot be confirmed because oral contrast has not advanced to the level of the rectum.

• Repeat CT obtained 3 days later– New bilateral pleural effusion– Reduction in azygoesophageal, retroperitoneal, and peroneal gas– Left gluteal abscess drain in place
• Plans for better DM control• Repeat CT in 2 weeks
