Kronik osteomiyelite bağlı retroperitoneal abse ve enterokütan fistül: Olgu sunumu

Abstract

Chronic osteomyelitis is a progressive and destructive disease involved in diaphysis of long bones and spines. If it becomes chronic and unless cure insufficient, it may cause permanent damages and serious complications as retroperitoneal abscess. The clinical presentation of retroperitoneal abscess is often non-specific and insidious that may mislead the diagnosis and treatment. The abscess often extends beyond the retroperitoneum and pelvis before its diagnosis, and leads to serious complications. It may cause to complications as enterocutaneous fistula and thigh abscess or generalized peritonitis. Due to complications of a chronic osteomyelitis, our patients with retroperitoneal abscess and enterocutaneous fistula died.
