RESUMO

Pylephlebitis is a rare complication of intra-abdominal infection involving septic thrombosis of the portal system. If the splenic vein is compromised, this can lead to a splenic abscess, an extremely rare complication of pylephlebitis. The pathophysiology behind these clinical entities remains unclear. In both cases, symptoms are highly nonspecific and include fever, malaise and abdominal pain. Here, we discuss a case in which a patient develops both pylephlebitis and a subsequent splenic abscess following a transrectal prostate biopsy. Diagnosis was made by computerized tomography scan; the treatment included broad spectrum antibiotics and laparoscopic splenectomy, after which the patient made a full recovery.
