Tubo-ovarian abscesses (TOA) is presented with multiple clinical manifestations including gastrointestinal findings.
Herein, we present a case of complicated diverticulitis that was misdiagnosed as TOA, owing to overlapping genital involvement.
Imaging could be misleading in these patients as a result of severe inflammation of intestines and surrounding organs.
Patients who do not respond to antibiotic treatment should be suspected of other gastrointestinal pathologies such as diverticulitis and should be evaluated accordingly.
输卵管卵巢脓肿(TOA)有多种临床表现,包括胃肠道症状。
在此,我们报告一例因生殖器受累重叠而被误诊为TOA的复杂性憩室炎病例。
由于肠道及周围器官的严重炎症,影像学检查在这些患者中可能会产生误导。
对抗生素治疗无反应的患者应怀疑有其他胃肠道病变,如憩室炎,并应进行相应评估。
