ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASOUND-GUIDED DRAINAGE OF PERIRECTAL ABSCESS IN PYODERMA GANGRENOSUM
The video presents a case of 47-year-old woman with a perirectal abscess (64 mm at MRI) in pyoderma gangrenosum, with symptomatic onset of fever and sacral pain. Blood test detected high serum level of WBC (18.000/mmc) and mild level of C-reactive protein (9 mg/dl). Endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage of collection was planned.
During endoscopy a 15x15 mm LAMS was placed with a drainage of purulent material; two pigtail stents were located to reduce LAMS migration. After one month a protective colostomy was performed to enhance reabsorption and subsequently the LAMS was removed. The control MRI confirmed the complete reabsorption of collection.
