Injection with N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate is a proven and successful therapeutic modality for treatment of patients with bleeding gastric varices. However, a variety of complications have also been associated with its use. Here, we report a rare case of retrogastric abscess which occurred almost six months after this therapy. This abscess was attributed to the hampered microbial clearance caused by the venous obliterations from N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate. The abscess was successfully treated with 3 months of antibiotics. © 2018 Ikram Hussain et al. | Source Title: | Case Reports in Medicine | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/178119 | ISSN: | 16879627 | DOI: | 10.1155/2018/7028578 | Rights: | Attribution 4.0 International |
