Percutaneous liver drainage is associated with few complications. We report a case of empyema secondary to passage of a drain through the chest cavity in a patient treated with percutaneous liver drainage for hepatic abscess. A 72-year-old man was diagnosed with a liver abscess and underwent percutaneous liver drainage via the 7th intercostal space. He developed fever 7 days after the drainage procedure and was diagnosed with empyema on chest computed tomography and underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic curettage. Intraoperatively, we observed the liver drainage tube penetrated the thoracic cavity and the diaphragm, and he was diagnosed with iatrogenic empyema. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful, and the chest drain was removed on the 3rd postoperative day. Percutaneous liver drainage is associated with the risk of penetration of the thoracic cavity and the diaphragm. |
