Abstract: Perinephric space is a space on each side which is distinctly defined by the cone of renal fascia. A variety of pathologies can occur in this space which are categorised based on their clinical and radiological presentation. An abscess within the perinephric space is a potentially fatal disease which occurs secondary to a site of renal infection that perforates through the capsule to contaminate the perirenal fatty compartment [1,2]. With non-specific radiological findings, a perinephric abscess can pose a diagnostic dilemma. [2, 3] Teaching points: 1) Radiological characterization and pattern of spread of perinephric abscess.[1] 2) Imaging differentiation of perinephric abscess and cystic renal tumor.[3]
