UNASSIGNED: We describe a case of empyema necessitans on a 4-year-old girl secondary to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. It represents the sixth pediatric case reported in the literature. It was managed by open drainage and prolonged antibiotherapy. The outcome was favorable as guidelines were extracted from similar reported cases.
