“…Surgical evacuation is considered to be first line in treatment of penile abscess followed by systemic antibiotics. [ 7 ] In this case, the abscess was treated by less invasive interventional technique, i.e., image-guided aspiration with adjuvant IV antibiotic for successful resolution of the abscess without long-term sequelae.…”

Periurethral abscess in corpus spongiosum diagnosed on ultrasonography: A rarest case report

2022

Corpus spongiosum abscess is a rare condition with no case reported as of now diagnosed on ultrasonography (USG). Here, we report a unique case of a 40-year-old Indian male with a 15 days’ history of pain and difficulty during micturition. The patient had swelling and erythema in distal 1/3 of the penis. The patient was a known case of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Pain aggravated during micturition, there was no history of any urethral catheterization, trauma, or urethritis. On USG, fluid collection was noted in the corpus spongiosum on the posterior aspect of the distal penile urethra. The abscess was drained percutaneously under ultrasound guidance and was send for culture and sensitivity test. The culture yielded Acinetobacter and the patient was treated with 1 week of intravenous antibiotic according to the culture sensitivity test.

Eggerthella lenta is a gram-positive anaerobic bacillus that has been associated with life-threatening infections. Bacteremia is always clinically significant and is mostly but not always associated with gastrointestinal disease. We present a unique case of abrupt deterioration and rapid development of septic shock secondary to periurethral abscess caused by E. lenta infection. This case highlights the atypical clinical presentation, risk factors, uncommon source of infection, challenges in therapy, and outcome of this infrequent infection. There is still a gap in the understanding of E. lenta pathogenicity, and more literature is needed to establish clear management recommendations.

“… 1 – 3 Presently, the most common microorganisms responsible for urethritis are Gram-negative rods, enterococci, anaerobes and, less often, staphylococci and streptococci, while Staphylococcus epidermidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa have been implicated in immunocompromised patients. 1 – 4,9 Risk factors for the development of periurethral abscess are persistent in UTI, indwelling catheters, undetected obstruction and trauma to the urethra. 2 – 5 Uncommonly, penile cutaneous infections may be responsible.…”

We present a case of a 55-year-old male with a history of urethroscopic calculus removal who later developed urinary tract infection (UTI), complicated by periurethral abscess formation with osteomyelitis of the inferior pubic ramus and a urethrocutaneous fistula after surgical drainage of the abscess. UTI with periurethral abscess and urethrocutaneous fistula (watering-can perineum) is a rare complication of UTI. A periurethral abscess with pubic osteomyelitis has not been previously reported.
