Introduction
Perinephric abscess results from perirenal fat necrosis. A perinephric abscess is usually a results of urological infection. Perinephric abscesses may arise from non-urological contiguous infections which may originate from trauma or an extension of infection from other body organs such as liver, cervix, pancreas, gallbladder, appendix, Crohn’s disease, or vertebral osteomyelitis. A perinephric abscess is more diffuse and affects the renal capsule and Gerota’s fascia. These abscesses can extend from the Gerota’s fascia into the psoas and transversalis muscles as well as peritoneal cavity and the pelvis.
If not properly treated, perinephric abscess results in significant morbidity and mortality. Percutaneous tube-directed drainage and antibiotic therapy are often the cornerstone of treatment. In severe uncontrolled infection, surgical debridement and nephrectomy are necessary. Local and distal complications from inflammation of adjacent structures, especially intraperitoneal spread, are rare
Case report
The patient is a 64-year-old Taiwanese woman with past history of diabetes mellitus type II, hypertension and dyslipidemia under medicine control. She denied personal history and history of drug allergy. According to her statement, she suffered from left flank pain and swelling for about two weeks. She took analgesia, muscle relaxant during this period but her pain is still persistent. Two days prior to admission to our hospital, she went to traditional Chinese acupuncture doctor for acupuncture session. After her acupuncture session, left side flank redness and swelling was noted. Swelling and redness increased in size along with intermittent fever, therefore she came to our emergency room for further evaluation. At emergency room, laboratory data showed leukocytosis. Computed tomography reported retroperitoneal and perinephric abscess (see images). Under the initial impression of lumbar acupuncture related retroperitoneal and perinephric abscess, she received retroperitoneal exploration with abscess evacuation.
Conclusion
Lumbar acupuncture is a possible cause of unknown soft tissue infection, including perinephric abscess. Compared to conservative treatments, early intervention treatment is suggested to manage perinephric abscess.
