Abstract.
In order to clarify abnormal findings at abdominal ultrasound (suspicion of late abscess subsequent to appendectomy) in a young male patient with known familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), a helical CT examination of the abdomen was performed. At CT, extensive serositis of the lower abdomen was detected. Findings at CT were verified 2 weeks later at laparoscopy.
