Adrenobronchial fistula complicating a neonatal adrenal abscess: treatment by percutaneous aspiration and antibiotics

H D Pointe et al. Pediatr Radiol. 1997 Feb.

Abstract

A case of retroperitoneal pulmonary fistula caused by a neonatal adrenal abscess is reported. The adrenal abscess was diagnosed by means of needle aspiration which guided the choice of antibiotic therapy. The fistula was demonstrated by direct injection of contrast medium into the adrenal abscess. Treatment by needle aspiration of the adrenal abscess and intravenous antibiotics was successful.
