ABSCESS AND THROMBOSIS OF THE ROUND LIGAMENT DUE TO CHOLANGITIS A CASE REPORT
The round ligament of the liver is rarely affected by any pathology in adults, therefore the abscess of this ligament is a pathology little described in the world literature, being a rare cause of acute abdomen and presenting a diagnostic challenge.
We report here the case of a patient who was admitted to our service with acute abdominal pain and jaundice, whose diagnosis was determined by computed tomography and laboratory tests. The initial treatment instituted was initially conservative and failed, requiring a surgical approach.

Abstract:
The round ligament of the liver is rarely affected by any pathology in adults, therefore the abscess of this ligament is a pathology little described in the world literature, being a rare cause of acute abdomen and presenting a diagnostic challenge.
We report here the case of a patient who was admitted to our service with acute abdominal pain and jaundice, whose diagnosis was determined by computed tomography and laboratory tests. The initial treatment instituted was initially conservative and failed, requiring a surgical approach.
