Treatment of an Abscess in the Appendix Patients with abscess larger than 4 cm size and a high fever are usually managed with drainage of abscess. The abscess is drained after localizing it radiologically.[healthhype.com]
Child starts high fever. Particularly temperature swings are typical: in the morning a slight fever, and by the evening it rises to 39-40 C. There sweating, increases toxicosis, deteriorating appetite.[survinat.com]
However, if the abscess is larger than four centimeters and the patient has high fever, draining the abscess becomes necessary.[phaa.com]

She had a 10-month history of intermittent abdominalpain in the right lower quadrant. Initial laparotomy revealed an abscess in that quadrant. The abscess was drained.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
An 8-year-old boy presented with fever, abdominalpain, and a right-lower-quadrant abscess (noted by ultrasonography). During laparotomy, the abscess was drained and the appendix was not found.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Even though the initial non-surgical treatment of her complicated acute appendicitis was successful, an interval appendectomy was indicated because of persistent abdominalpain in the right lower quadrant (RLQ).[websurg.com]
On the fourth day of admission, a palpable right lower quadrant abdominalmass with local tenderness was found. Appendiceal abscess was diagnosed by both ultrasonography and computed tomography.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Appendiceal Abscess (or Late Appendicitis) This term refers to perforated appendicitis resulting in a walled off pocket of pus (abscess) characterized by fever and an abdominalmass.[innerbody.com]

Inguinal scrotalpain and septic fever appeared 30 days before the admission to our Department. Suspecting urinary infection, his clinician had prescribed antibiotic therapy which proved partially effective.[springerplus.springeropen.com]
They’ll also order tests, which may include: blood workup urine analysis ultrasound X-ray MRI CT scan To distinguish among cellulitis, abscess, and phlegmon, your doctor may use intravenous gadolinium with MRI to show the outline of an abscess “wall”[healthline.com]
This nonsurgical treatment, based on intravenous administration of antibiotics, is successful in about 93% of the patients. Failure of nonsurgical treatment is a reliable indication of percutaneous drainage.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Nonsurgical treatment fails in 7.2% (CI: 4.0-10.5). The need for drainage of an abscess is 19.7% (CI: 11.0-28.3). Immediate surgery is associated with a higher morbidity compared with nonsurgical treatment (odds ratio, 3.3; CI: 1.9-5.6; P 0.001).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic surgery in experienced hands is safe and feasible first-line treatment for appendiceal abscess.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
METHODS: We identified 1225 patients under 18 years of age who had non-surgical treatment for an appendiceal abscess between 2007 and 2012 in a Taiwan CCHIA dataset. The treatment included percutaneous drainage with antibiotics or antibiotics alone.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility of treatment for children with appendiceal abscess by laparoscopic surgery and investigate its superiorities to conventional treatments.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment and prognosis Previously it was believed that early surgical intervention increases the mortality in patients with appendicular abscess and hence the well known Ochsner Sherren regime was followed.[radiopaedia.org]
Prognosis of the abscess is good with antibiotics and percutaneous drain and resolves without the need for appendectomy, but it is recommended to follow and appendicular abscess by interval appendectomy after 8-12 weeks to prevent recurrence.[wikidoc.org]
ABSTRACT In contrast to children, intussusception is rare in adults, and its etiology differs. A demonstrated organic lesion as the cause of intussusception is found 90% of adult cases, and about 65% are caused by primary or secondary neoplasms.[ekjm.org]
In cases with a high index of clinical suspicion for a perforated appendix, presence of loculated pericecal fluid even in the absence of visualization of the appendix should raise concern for the diagnosis, however other etiologies which could result[sonoworld.com]

Pathophysiology An appendicular abscess is a complication of acute appendicitis. It is resulted due to the invasion of the appendix by bacteria following an obstruction.[wikidoc.org]
Correct recognition of the mucocele prevented a potentially disastrous percutaneous drainage.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
OBJECTIVE: A systematic review of the nonsurgical treatment of patients with appendiceal abscess or phlegmon, with emphasis on the success rate, need for drainage of abscesses, risk of undetected serious disease, and need for interval appendectomy to prevent[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This is to prevent the rupture of the large appendicular abscess, which would lead to a highly dangerous infection in the peritoneum.[phaa.com]

This prevents the pus from leaking and the infection spreading throughout the peritoneal cavity. How doe an appendicular abscess forms? When the appendix become inflamed (appendicitis), complications arise if the infection is not treated promptly.[healthhype.com]
