Abstract
The development of intraabdominal abscesses secondary to the ingestion of foreign bodies is a known but infrequent phenomenon.1 We describe a patient with a right subphrenic abscess that developed after the accidental ingestion of a toothpick 15 months earlier. Images obtained through abdominal ultrasonography were helpful in making a preoperative diagnosis.
