Endoscopic ultrasound-guided caudate lobe liver abscess drainage

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided liver abscess drainage is an alternative method in cases where percutaneous drainage (PCD) is difficult to perform [1] [2]. However, reports on EUS-guided caudate lobe liver abscess drainage remain scarce, with only 12 reported cases [3]. Of these cases, 33 % (4 /12) were treated with a transesophageal approach, which can cause mediastinitis, mediastinal emphysema, and pneumothorax [4] [5]. Herein, we present a case of safe and successful drainage via this method using marking clips and adjusting the scope position.
