Liver abscess is rare in neonates. The present report concerns a preterm neonate with history of antenatal laser ablation therapy (to prevent twin to twin transfusion syndrome), who developed liver abscesses within a few days of life. Conservative treatment with antibiotics led to the normalisation of inflammatory markers, leaving an echogenic (calcified) area in the liver.
肝脓肿在新生儿中较为罕见。本报告涉及一名有产前激光消融治疗史(用于预防双胎输血综合征)的早产儿,该患儿在出生后几天内出现了肝脓肿。抗生素保守治疗使炎症指标恢复正常,但肝脏中留下了一个回声增强(钙化)区域。
