Abstract

Abstract The authors report the successful conservative treatment of a tuboovarian abscess in a 25-year old woman who presented with low grade fever and severe right sciatic pain. Computed tomography and ultrasonography corroborated a clinical diagnosis of tuboovarian abscess after an initial diagnosis of epidural abscess had been made. This is the first report of a tuboovarian abscess presenting principally as sciatic pain. The diagnosis and treatment of this lesion are discussed. (Neurosurgery 21: 100-103, 1987)
