Abstract

Congenital solitary liver abscess in newborns is an extremely rare and serious disease. Only one case was reported in the literature. Most a liver abscesses have a postnatal origin. We encountered a premature infant who had a low. Apgar score and an elevated right diaphragm at birth. Pyogenic solitary liver abscess was diagnosed by ultrasound and computed tomography. Staphylococcus aureus was cultured from ultrasound guided aspiration fluid.

저자들은 재태연령 35주 2일, 출생 체중 2.19 kg으로 출생시 낮은 Apgar score(1/2)와 흉부 촬영상 우측 횡격막 거상을 보였던 환아에서 복부 초음파 검사와 컴퓨터 단층촬영을 시행하여 간 우엽에 생긴 단발성 농양을 발견하였으며 초음파를 이용한 경피적 천자 흡인물 배양 검사에서 포도상 구균이 검출된 선천성 간농양 1례를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
