A: Hepatic enhanced computed tomography (CT) showed hepatic thrombophlebitis in the right liver lobe (orange arrow: Filling defect in the vein with irregular wall thickness); B: Abdominal CT showed bilateral lung inflammation (blue arrow) and bilateral pleural effusion (orange arrow); C: Intestinal CT showed fluid accumulation in the small intestine and bowel dilatation (blue arrow). During a 56-day follow-up; D: Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography showed a right liver lobe abscess and purulent cholangitis (orange arrow: 20 mm × 16 mm liver abscess; blue arrow: Purulent cholangitis with thickened duct walls); E: Abdominal CT showed absorbed pneumonia and pleural effusion; F: Hepatic enhanced CT revealed low-density nodule (approximately 6 mm) in the upper segment of the right lobe (S8) indicating granulomatous changes after liver abscess treatment (orange circle) and complete resolution of the hepatic vein thrombus.
