Abstract
- We report two cases of adrenal abscesses that occurred following a Histoacryl(R) (N-butyl-2-cyanocrylate) injection for variceal bleeding. Patients had been diagnosed with alcoholic liver cirrhosis and gastric varices bleeding and received a Histoacryl(R) injection for the variceal bleeding. Patients had fever and abdominal tenderness and were diagnosed with an adrenal abscess at 2 months following the Histoacryl(R) injection. One patient received open drainage and the other underwent percutaneous drainage. When a patient has previously been injected with Histoacryl(R) for the treatment of variceal bleeding and presents with fever, an evaluation for an unusual complication such as adrenal abscess is recommended.
