Abstract

Multiple intrahepatic abscesses are associated with a very high mortality rate. We believe that percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) is the definitive diagnostic procedure in this condition. Two patients with biliary duct obstruction who developed hepatic abscesses are presented. The value of early diagnosis by PTC is stressed.
