Multiple liver abscesses secondary to Listeria monocytogenes complicated by hepatic artery mycotic aneurysm

A woman in her 50s presented to the emergency department with 5 days of abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. CT imaging of her liver demonstrated three enhancing, cystic lesions in her hepatic parenchyma and a large enhancing lesion in her porta hepatis concerning for a hepatic artery aneurysm. Radi...

description A woman in her 50s presented to the emergency department with 5 days of abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. CT imaging of her liver demonstrated three enhancing, cystic lesions in her hepatic parenchyma and a large enhancing lesion in her porta hepatis concerning for a hepatic artery aneurysm. Radiographic-guided drainage was performed on two accessible liver abscesses, and cultures from this drainage grew Listeria monocytogenes. Serial imaging of the aneurysm demonstrated that the aneurysm spontaneously thrombosed and did not require further intervention. She was subsequently discharged on intravenous ampicillin with a plan to continue until radiographic resolution of the abscesses.
