Abstract
Hepatogastric fistula secondary to amebic liver abscess is extremely rare. Only three pediatric cases have been reported in the English literature. Percutaneous drainage of abscess along with parenteral metronidazole can prevent the need for extensive surgical intervention. Timely intervention is usually followed by complete recovery.Entities:
