Abstract
We report a case of renal cortical abscess in a gravid woman. The absc ess was documented by US as well as by MRI. The development of a kidne y abscess is extremely rare despite the fact that urinary tract infect ions are quite common during pregnancy. The limitations of the diagnos tic work-up during pregnancy are emphasized.
