Case report demonstrates a rare aseptic abscess following cyanoacrylate glue embolization, implying need for careful monitoring.
This report describes the case of an 88-year-old male who underwent cyanoacrylate glue embolization (CAE) for right great saphenous vein (GSV) reflux. Three months postoperatively, the patient presented with phlebitis and a subcutaneous abscess along the occluded right GSV. Surgical removal of the GSV and associated skin fistula was successful. Cultures of the excised tissue showed no evidence of bacterial infection. Histological analysis demonstrated a foreign body granuloma and phlebitis complicated by an aseptic abscess. The postoperative course was uneventful, with no recurrence at 1.5 years postoperatively. Careful surveillance remains necessary to detect late complications following CAE.
