Two cases of pelvic collections of different etiology, admitted in the isolation unit of the Gynecology and Obstetrics Department of Hospital del Salvador are presented. Both were resolved by means of ultrasound transabdominal puncture, the first a tubo-ovarian abscess, in which there was placed a percutaneous drainage, and the second, a Residual Lutein Cyst, (Subsequent' to an Ectopic Pregnancy resolved by surgery) by means only of punction. In the first case (tubo-ovarian abscess) the patient became pregnant 2 months after de punction having actually a physiologic evolution. In the second case the patient is asymptomatic and has normal medical controls.
