[摘要] Ten cases of deep or subfascial abscesses of the abdominal wall in children have been presented.The diagnosis rests upon the finding of a firm, irregular, non-fluctuant, usually nontender mass, moving with and involving the deeper or subfascial portion of the abdominal wall, and accompanied by a leucocytosis with an increase of the polymorphonuclear neutrophilic leucocytes in the differential count.The infectious agent is usually Staph. aureus. The differential diagnosis is considered and the treatment indicated.
