AB Intraabdominal  fluid  collections  occur  commonly  after  liver  transplantation.1  Most  of  them  are  asymptomatic,  sterile,  and  resolve  spontaneously.  However,  up  to  10%  are  infected  and  can  affect  graft  and  patient  survival.  Liver  abscesses,  if  untreated,  can  be  fatal.2A  thorough  knowledge  of  the  most  common  localizations  and  characteristics  of  fluid  collections  leads  to  early  diagnosis  and  treatment.Large  collections  can  compress  vascular  or  biliary  structures.Bilomas  may  alert  of  bile  leak  or  arterial  insufficiency.Hematomas  should  warn  about  bleeding,  and  they  can  also  become  infected.
