Abscess as a complication of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is a rare condition. We present the computed tomography findings of an abdominal wall abscess that occurred after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy for which prophylactic antibiotics had not been given. The abscess destroyed the posterior abdominal wall muscles and dissected into the thorax. The muscles were thickened and showed enhancement. A parenchymal defect in the right kidney adjacent to a caliceal stone, with strands extending from this defective region to the abscess, was observed, and was thought to be the result of parenchymal destruction caused by the shock waves. Other parts of the kidney and psoas muscle were normal. Microbiologic examination revealed Escherichia coli.

Purpose: The impact of body-cavity depth on open (OLR) and laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) of segment 7 remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated the influence of body-cavity depth at the upper-right portion of the abdomen on LLR and OLR of segment 7.
Methods: In total, 101 patients who underwent segment-7 liver resection over 2010-2023 were included.
Performance of individual criteria of the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN) intraabdominal injury prediction rule.

Department of Emergency Medicine, UC Davis School of Medicine, Sacramento, California, USA.
Objective: The Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN) derived and externally validated a clinical prediction rule to identify children with blunt torso trauma at low risk for intraabdominal injuries undergoing acute intervention (IAI). Little is known about the risk for IAI when only one or two prediction rule variables are positive. We sought to determine the risk for IAI when either one or two PECARN intraabdominal injury rule variables are positive.
