ABSTRACT |
Recently for 2 years, 24 cases of microabscesses have been experienced and treated at St. Paul's Hospital, Catholic Medical College. Investigations had been made & analyzed to characteristic clinical symptoms and signs, typical CT findings and therapeutic management and prognosis. The CT scan is most choice of and early and accurate diagnosis and has made feasible the follow up of the evolution and eventual resolution of abscess lesions. In the authors opinion and experience, when microabscess is diagnosed at it early stage, it could be treated in 2week with the administration of antibiotics & not need any other surgical interventions. |
