Iodized oil-based lymphangiography (LAG) is a well-established diagnostic exam during the workup of postoperative lymphatic leaks. Computed tomography (CT) has been shown to be a useful complement to optimize treatment planning and can easily be performed after conventional LAG. The treatment options for lymphatic leaks include conservative dietary modification, sclerotherapy, embolization, and surgery. We present a case of a 48-year-old man who developed a symptomatic left retroperitoneal lymphatic fluid collection after left nephrectomy, complicated by postoperative retroperitoneal abscess. Retroperitoneal duct leak was confirmed via ultrasound-guided intranodal LAG and post-LAG CT. This leak was successfully managed with N-butyl cyanoacrylate glue embolization of the leaking lymphatics via fluoroscopic-guided catheterization of the leak via percutaneous access through the lymphatic fluid collection.

A 3-month-old intact male Labrador Retriever was presented for falling trauma and hindlimb ataxia. Radiography indicated radiolucent left sacroiliac joint with irregular margin. Computed tomography revealed thickened sublumbar muscles and hypoattenuated sacroiliac joint while magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated abscess at retroperitoneum and gluteal muscle. Ultrasonography showed lytic left sacroiliac joint with retroperitoneal fluid, and fine needle aspiration resulted Staphylococcus aureus. Hindlimb ataxia was attributed to infectious sacroiliitis and its secondary retroperitoneal abscess. As far as the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of multimodality imaging of infectious sacroiliitis with retroperitoneal abscess caused by S. aureus in a dog.

Colonoscopy is a common method of diagnosing colon and rectum illnesses. Complications from colonoscopy are rare. However, perforation is one of the most common problems observed. The incidence is 0.005-0.085 percent. Extraperitoneal and mixed postcolonoscopy colonic perforations are classified as intraperitoneal, extraperitoneal and both combined. Extraperitoneal perforation is rare and frequently accompanied with subcutaneous emphysema and retroperitoneal abscess. Contrast CT scan is the most effective diagnostic and therapy tool. A parietal abscess after colonoscopy is quite rare. Only one incidence of post-colonoscopy retroperitoneal colonic perforation with parietal abscess has been reported. An unusual case of colonic perforation after diagnostic colonoscopy was presented with a parietal abscess on the left iliac area. The patient, a 63-year-old diabetic male, had a diagnostic colonoscopy for intestinal irregularity. Afternoon severe ache over left iliac region brought patient to doctor. Nothing notable was discovered. So, they prescribed symptomatic drugs. Symptomatic medications were prescribed but without any relief. An abdominal contrast CT was recommended to him by his doctor after a few days. This retro muscular accumulation in the left transverses abdominis muscle communicated with the sigmoid colon. No signs of peritonitis or septicemia. Patient was stable. The aspirated fluid was sent for culture and sensitivity testing, and intravenous hydration and antibiotics were commenced. Patient tolerated conservative care. The subject was discharged in 2 weeks. Diagnosis and treatment of perforation are critical to recovery.

Abstract Background Spontaneous common bile duct (CBD) perforation is an extremely rare disease in adults. We report an adult case of CBD perforation due to choledocolithiasis accompanied with pancreaticobiliary maljunction, which is, to our knowledge, the first such case report based on a search using PubMed. Case presentation A 71-year-old woman with consciousness disorder was transported to the emergency department of another hospital. She was diagnosed as having severe peritonitis with septic shock and transferred to our hospital for emergency surgery. Enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed supraduodenal CBD dilation similar to a diverticulum and a defect of bile duct wall continuity. Furthermore, CT showed a long common channel of the pancreaticobiliary duct, so she was diagnosed as having spontaneous CBD perforation with pancreaticobiliary maljunction. Emergency surgery was performed that revealed a necrotic diverticulum-like change on the supraduodenal part, and a 2.5 × 1 cm perforation was found on the anterolateral wall of the CBD. Peritoneal lavage was performed, and CBD perforation was resolved with a T-tube. The patient suffered refractory intra-abdominal and retroperitoneal abscess formation and bleeding from the abdominal wall, which required a long period of postoperative management. The T-tube was removed on day 136, and the patient was transferred on day 153. Conclusion The cause of CBD perforation is commonly considered to be increased intraductal pressure or weakness of the bile duct wall. In this case, pancreaticobiliary maljunction may have significantly influenced onset and the postoperative course. This case suggests that early surgical intervention and appropriate drainage are important to ensure survival.

Infected pancreatic necrosis is a postpancreatitis complication that is mainly caused by Enterobacteriaceae and Enterococci. Here, we have reported a very rare case of Lactobacillus paracasei bacteraemia associated with infected pancreatic necrosis and retroperitoneal abscess. In addition to the diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis, blood test results revealed a high inflammatory status. CT of the abdomen revealed pancreatic walled-off necrosis. Blood culture and aspiration fluid culture revealed positivity for L. paracasei, leading to the diagnosis of infected pancreatic necrosis. The abscess had spread in the retroperitoneal space later. The patient recovered after receiving antibiotic treatment and endoscopic and percutaneous drainage. L. paracasei can cause invasive infection, including infected pancreatic necrosis and retroperitoneal abscess, which requires aggressive therapy.
