Abstract
Nineteen consecutive cases of subphrenic abscess which were treated in the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Glasgow, from 1962 to 1972 are analysed. This complication of intra-abdominal suppuration of surgery still carries a grave prognosis. Four of the patients died (21 per cent); 2 deaths were related to the subphrenic abscess while the remaining 2 were not directly related to the abscess. The mean hospital stay of the survivors was 59 days (range 30–122 days). The changing patterns of aetiology and presentation which have recently been emphasized in general surgical practice are not reflected in this paediatric series.
