ABSTRACT

2 Year old girl presented with fever and cough for 4 months. Neurological examination revealed right sided hemiplegia. Contrast enhanced computed tomography of brain showed multiple hypodense ring enhancing lesions. Pus on aspiration of intracranial abscess showed positive polymerase chain reaction for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. A possibility of tuberculosis though not commonly recognised may be considered in any child presenting with prolonged fever and multiple intracranial abscesses.

ABSTRACT

Liver abscess is a rare condition in neonates and its diagnosis requires a high degree of suspicion. CT scan and ultrasound are the most sensitive diagnostic modalities for detecting hepatic abscess. Portal vein thrombosis and cavernoma formation are rare complications following neonatal liver abscess and sepsis. We describe the case of two neonates with hepatic abscess following umblical vein catheterisation, with rare complications of portal vein thrombosis and portal vein cavernoma formation. Therefore, unreserved caution should be exercised in performing umbilical cannulation in neonates due to the inherent risks involved with this procedure.
