Early Diagnosis and Surgical Management of Abdominal Wall Sepsis Following Perineal Abscess

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Abdominal wall sepsis as a complication of a perineal abscess is a rare but serious condition with high morbidity if not managed promptly. This case report presents a 35 - year - old female who developed sepsis following a perianal abscess, exhibiting high - grade fever, severe pain, and systemic distress. Imaging revealed an extensive abscess with air pockets extending into the abdominal wall. Surgical intervention, including incision and drainage, serial debridements, and vacuum - assisted closure (VAC) dressing, led to successful wound healing. This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis, timely surgical intervention, and proper wound management to prevent complications in such infections.
