الملخص EN

Background.

Injection with N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate is a proven and successful therapeutic modality for treatment of patients with bleeding gastric varices.

However, a variety of complications have also been associated with its use.

Here, we report a rare case of retrogastric abscess which occurred almost six months after this therapy.

This abscess was attributed to the hampered microbial clearance caused by the venous obliterations from N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate.

The abscess was successfully treated with 3 months of antibiotics.
