Coming soonA pelvic abscess is an encapsulated collection of purulent fluid localized within the pelvis, most frequently developing in the pouch of Douglas, parametrial tissue, or adjacent adnexal structures.
It typically arises as a complication of lower gastrointestinal pathology, such as complicated appendicitis or diverticulitis; ascending gynecologic infections, including severe pelvic inflammatory disease and tubo-ovarian abscesses; or secondary to pelvic surgical procedures.
The condition affects both men and women across various age groups, though it disproportionately impacts women of reproductive age when related to gynecologic etiologies.
Pathophysiologically driven by polymicrobial bacterial infection and localized tissue necrosis, it clinically manifests with lower abdominal or pelvic pain, fever, leukocytosis, and potentially a palpable pelvic mass, carrying a significant risk of sepsis or peritonitis if uncontained.
