Intravenous injection of Sonovue before PCD of periappendiceal abscesses can evaluate the extent of the abscess, liquefaction and necrosis in the abscess cavity. The approach can also provide guidance for the placement of the drainage tube. After the operation, a diluted contrast agent was injected through the drainage tube. The position of the drainage tube and the flow direction of the contrast agent could be seen. This approach has good value for clinical applications to accurately judge the position of the drainage tube.
