ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Tubo-ovarian abscess usually results from ascending infection of the lower genital tract. In a few cases it can occur as a result of direct contamination at the time of tubal sterilization. We describe a case that presented seven years after post partum tubal sterilization, showing both acute and chronic components.
