Extraperitoneal abscess originated from a deep perianal abscess. Case report

Abstract

Deep perianal abscesses can present with uncommon symptoms and may spread to atypical locations, such as the extraperitoneal space. In these cases, presentation is non-specific and therefore, delay in diagnosis can lead to severe sepsis. We present the case of a male patient who came to the Emergency Room with an extraperitoneal abscess due to a deep perianal infection.
