Infection

Subdiaphragmatic abscess is a secondary infection, and its location is related to the primary disease. The localized abscesses located below the diaphragm, in the transverse colon and above the mesentery are collectively referred to as subphrenic abscess. Abdominal abscesses are most common in the right upper hepatic posterior space, and the cause is related to lymphatic flow and respiratory movement effects. The intra-abdominal pressure in this space of the abdominal cavity is the lowest. Followed by right subhepatic space and right upper anterior space abscess, the left subcondylar abscess is relatively rare.
