Liver abscess, large, punction, pneumothorax

CASE

CT shows a large liver abscess with an air-fluid level. There is a reaction in the pleural cavity inducing pleural fluid which is somewhat septated. The abscess was draind with a pig-tail catheter. Opacification of the abscess fluid was caused by injection of iodinated contrast. The procedure was complicated by pneumothorax.
