Abstract

Retroperitoneal abscess in pregnancy is rarely encountered condition. It is more frequently reported to occur subsequent to deliveries, abortions or caesarean sections. Primary abscesses of this localization develop via hematogenous route. Alternatively, secondary abscesses result from a direct extension of an infectious process into retroperitoneum, expecially from infected parts of digestive tract adjacent to psoas muscle. We reeport on 27-year secundigravida with verified retroperitoneal abscess, treated with surgical incision and drainage of the abscess. Supported by causal antibiotic therapy and intensive care measures the patient completed the course of pregnancy and vaginally gave birth to healthy, term, newborn. Primary disease was solved by surgery following delivery.
