case_images: Abdominal enhanced CT on day 5 of admission. On day 5 of admission, an intensive abdominal CT revealed an abscess in the right lobe of the liver. As the arrow indicated, the right posterior lobe of the liver showed a low-density shadow with uneven density; the length was about 3.8 cm, and the septum shadow was visible in the right posterior lobe. Perfusion was enhanced around the lesion, and a strip-like filling defect was shown in the right hepatic vein. Arterial phase (a); venous phase (b); equilibrium phase (c); delay phase (d).

case_images: On the 5th day after admission, the three-phase enhanced CT of the whole abdomen suggested liver abscess and embolus formation of the right hepatic vein (Figure 1).
case_images: Abdominal enhanced CT on day 16 of admission. On the 16th day of admission, abdominal enhanced CT displayed that the size of the abscess in the right lobe of the liver was 3.4 cm, which was smaller than before. Arterial phase (a); venous phase (b); equilibrium phase (c); delay phase (d).

case_images: On the 16th day after admission, abdominal enhanced CT displayed that the size of the abscess in the right lobe of the liver was 3.4 cm, which was smaller than before (Figure 2).
case_images: Head/eye MRI on day 18 of admission. On the 18th day of admission, head and eye MRIs were performed. As the arrows indicated, DWI showed slightly high signal intensity in the left occipital lobe (a), left temporal lobe (b), and parietal lobe (c). As the arrow indicated, the signal of the right eyeball was not uniform, and the vitreous body displayed an oval slightly long T1 and T2 signal shadow (d).

case_images: The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head displayed multiple mini-brain abscesses (Figure 3). Ocular MRI indicated inflammatory lesions around the right eye ring and changes consistent with postoperative changes in the right eye (Figure 3).
