Overview

Case report shows multimodal ultrasound aids diagnosis and treatment of caudate lobe abscess and IVC thrombosis, indicating significant health implications.

Key Points

  • This case report highlights the diagnosis and management of a rare Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess complicated by inferior vena cava thrombosis.
  • Case report of a 66-year-old woman presenting with fever and chills.
  • Utilized multimodal ultrasound and CT for diagnosis; performed ultrasound-guided drainage.
  • Administered broad-spectrum antibiotics and therapeutic anticoagulation for treatment.
  • Imaging revealed a gas-containing caudate lobe liver abscess extending to the inferior vena cava.
  • Follow-up imaging showed near-complete resolution of the abscess and complete disappearance of the IVC thrombus.
