BACKGROUND: Synchronous abscesses of the prostate and seminal vesicles represent a rare but clinically significant form of purulent retention. They pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges and are associated with considerable morbidity and a high risk of sepsis.
CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 60-year-old Caucasian man with a history of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, who had a voluminous prostatic abscess associated with a right seminal vesicle abscess due to compression of the right ejaculatory duct, and who presented to our department with sepsis. He had clinical and radiological confirmation with computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging. The patient underwent percutaneous drainage of the prostatic abscess resulting in the subsidence of the seminal vesicle abscess. The treatment also consisted on prolonged antibiotic therapy. The clinical evolution was favorable.
CONCLUSION: We conclude that prostatic abscesses can lead to synchronous seminal vesicle abscesses due to ejaculatory duct compression. Percutaneous drainage of the prostatic abscess by transrectal ultrasound-guided drainage, combined with prolonged antibiotic therapy, can effectively treat both abscesses.
