Background: Prostatic abscess is uncommon in adults and is infrequently noted in the paediatric population. Surgical drainage with adequate antibiotics is the current recommended management for prostatic abscess larger than 1 cm. However, it is still a topic debate that what should be the appropriate management of a prostatic abscess. Case presentation: Herein, we present the case of a 16-year-old young adolescent patient with a large prostate abscess without any systemic disease who was successfully managed with antibiotics only and surgical drainage was not required for this patient. Conclusion: Thus, we conclude that in a young adolescent patient with acute prostatic abscess, medical management with intravenous antibiotics deferring surgical drainage can be used an effective treatment option for management of this condition. |
