Abstract
Extra-peritoneal abscesses are uncommon entities encountered during general surgical practice. They occur in a plane present between the peritoneum and the deep fascia anteriorly, posteriorly or in the pelvis. These abscesses commonly occur as a result of supra-levator and pre-peritoneal extension of an ischiorectal abscess. Treatment includes antibiotics and drainage. Here we have described a case of an abscess in the anterior extra-peritoneal plane extending from perirectal and pararectal space, drained surgically through a midline incision.
