Para-aortic arch abscess secondary to Staphylococcus aureus pneumonia
Canadian Journal of Cardiology, 04/16/09
Koo KKY et al. - The case of a woman who developed a para-aortic abscess after a community-acquired S aureus pneumonia infection is presented. A number of diagnostic imaging modalities were used to reach the diagnosis. This complication has not been reported previously and it is likely secondary to suppurative lymphadenitis of a station 5 or 6 node. The patient was successfully managed nonsurgically with computed tomography-guided drainage and intravenous antibiotics.
