ABSTRACT
Intra hepatic abcesses of biliary origin are the extension to the liver of suppurative cholangitis. They are mostly, multiple scattered abcesses, seldom is it a single large abcess. They are the most frequent of pyogenic liver abcesses. Their clinical study is uneasy because their signs remain drow in the cholangitis presentation explaining that they are discovered during surgery or even at necropsy. Treatment is medico-surgical but morbidity and mortality remains elevated, owing to delayed diagnosis because of lack of specific signs. About 3 [three] observations of intra hepatic abcesses of biliary origin, a review of the literature is made to specify their pathogenic, diagnostic, therapeutic and prognosis problems
