Splenic abscesses are rare pathologic conditions in which Actinomyces and Campylobacter species are rarely isolated. We present a 79-year-old female with multiple splenic abscesses from unknown sources with both Actinomyces species and Campylobacter rectus being isolated. She was initially treated conservatively with percutaneous drainage but eventually needed splenectomy. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of Campylobacter rectus isolated from a splenic abscess.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Necrotizing pancreatitis is a common condition with high mortality; the acute care surgeon is frequently consulted for management recommendations. Furthermore, there has been substantial change in the timing, approach, and frequency of surgical intervention for this group of patients. METHODS: In this article we summarize key clinical and research developments regarding necrotizing pancreatitis, including current recommendations for treatment of patients requiring intensive care and those with common complications. Articles from all years were considered to provide proper historical context, and most recent management recommendations are identified. RESULTS: Epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment in the acute phase, and complications (both short-term and long-term) are discussed. Images of surgical interventions are included from our institutional experience. CONCLUSION: Necrotizing pancreatitis management remains heavily based on clinical judgement, although technological advances and clinical trials have made decision making more straightforward.
