Renal abscess in childhood: a case report 6 years girl

Abstract

Renal abscesses are rarely seen in the childhood period. Delays in diagnosis may cause kidney loss. The treatment method is still controversial. The patient with a large renal abscess, which we operated on because it did not regress with broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy and was not drained with percutaneous drainage because it was organized, was evaluated in the light of the literature. Keywords: Renal abscess, childhood, open surgery, percutaneous drainage.
