Signos y exámenes:

El conteo de glóbulos blancos puede estar elevado en un CSC . Una TC del abdomen usualmente revela el absceso intraabdominal. Además, después de una TC, se puede colocar una aguja a través de la piel dentro de la cavidad del absceso para confirmar su diagnóstico y tratarlo. Igualmente, pueden ser útiles las pruebas de la función hepática, radiografías abdominales y una ecografía para diagnosticar dicho absceso.

Algunas veces, puede ser necesaria una laparotomía (abertura del abdomen que se hace bajo anestesia general) para realizar el diagnóstico.
