NEONATAL HEPATIC-ABSCESS

Neonatal liver abscess is a rare entity. There are no published report s of neonatal liver abscess in the radiology Literature in the past 15 years. We recently encountered a premature infant in whom a hepatic a bscess was diagnosed solely based on abnormal radiographic studies. We report this case to illustrate the unusual clinical and radiographic abnormalities seen with neonatal solitary hepatic abscess. (C) 1998 El sevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
