Abstract
A 59-yr-old man developed multiple hepatic abscesses following an episode of diverticulitis. A percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram (PTC) showed changes typical of sclerosing cholangitis complicated by multiple hepatic abscesses. No biliary tract stones were seen either on ultrasound or PTC. A single drain left in the right biliary tree and a course of intravenous antibiotics resulted in complete normalization within 14 days of the previously involved biliary tree.
