A Rare Cause of Acute Abdomen in Pregnancy: Pyogenic Liver Abscess

Abstract

Pyogenic liver abscess is one of the causes we rarely encounter in acute abdomen tables during pregnancy. While it is difficult to diagnose pyogenic liver abscess under normal conditions, pregnancy makes the diagnostic process even more difficult. Therefore pyogenic liver abscess should be included in the list of differantial diagnosis in a pregnant woman presenting with abominal pain.
