, six patients (five dadults and one child) with lung abscess (size, 5-13cm in diameter) were treated with percutaneous aspiration and drainage. In each case, the puncture was made where the wall of the abscess was in contact with the pleura1 surface. An 8 to 10 Fr catheter was inserted for drainage. Five of 6 had a dramatic clinica1 response within 24 hours of the drainage. Percutaneous drainage was successful with complete abscess resolution in four and partial res 이 ution in one patient. No response was seen in the rest one. The duration of drainage ranged from 7 to 18 days (average, 15.5days) in successful cases.One case of the failure in drainage was due to persistent aspiration of the neurologically impaired patient. In one patient, the abscess resolved after drainage but recurred after inadvertent removal of the catheter 7 days after insertion. In two patients, concurrent pleura1 empyema was resolved completely by the drainage. Computed tomography provided anatomic details necessaη for choosing the puncture site and avoiding a puncture of the lung parenchyma. Percutaneous catheter drainage is a safe and effective method for treating patient with lung abscess.

“…Percutaneous drainage of abscesses of the chest and empyema has been widely described [1][2][3][4][5][6], but few cases of mediastinal drainage have been reported, and only 8.3 F "pigtail" nephrostomy catheters have been used for percutaneous drainage of anterior mediastinal abscesses [7,8]. We report the case of a young man successfully treated for an anterior mediastinal abscess by using a 16 F drainage device percutaneously placed under computed tomographic (CT) guidance.…”

We report a case of anterior mediastinal abscess treated by percutaneous drainage under computed tomography (CT) guidance. The relationships of the abscess to the adjacent organs were clearly delineated by an intravenous injection of contrast material, and the drain was inserted between the sternum and the vasa thoracica interna. Selection of this route and the choice of a large-bore catheter (16 F) are discussed.

Lung abscess was successfully treated with percutaneous drainage in 5 of 6 patients. Complete abscess resolution occurred in 4 patients, partial resolution in one, and no response in one. The duration of drainage ranged from 7 to 18 days (mean 15.5 days) in successful cases. The failure of drainage in one neurologically impaired patient was attributed to persistent aspiration. In 2 patients, concurrent pleural empyema was also cured. CT provided the anatomic details necessary for choosing the puncture site and avoiding puncture of the lung parenchyma. Percutaneous catheter drainage is a safe and effective method for treating lung abscess.
