A case of percutaneous deep pelvic abscess drainage using CT fluoroscopic guided cranio-caudal puncture technique

A 52-year-old male patient presented with complaints of abdominal and back pain. CT revealed a deep pelvic abscess extending into the anterior sacral space. Since puncture via the conventional transgluteal approach cannot reach a deep abscess, percutaneous pelvic abscess drainage was performed under...

description A 52-year-old male patient presented with complaints of abdominal and back pain. CT revealed a deep pelvic abscess extending into the anterior sacral space. Since puncture via the conventional transgluteal approach cannot reach a deep abscess, percutaneous pelvic abscess drainage was performed under CT fluoroscopy using the cranio-caudal puncture technique. The cranio-caudal puncture requires needle insertion perpendicular to the CT cross-section. This method advances the CT gantry deeper than the needle tip and follows the CT cross-section with the needle tip. This series of images and movements continues until the needle reaches the target. The procedure was successful without complications, the abscess was reduced in size, and blood test data improved. The cranio-caudal puncture technique provides an alternative for the drainage of deep pelvic abscesses that avoids the complications associated with gluteal muscle puncture. Percutaneous drainage of pelvic abscesses under CT fluoroscopy-guided cranio-caudal puncture offers a safe option as a puncture route for deep pelvic abscesses.
