TORRES., José Enrique; SEBALLOS, Valentina  and  SALVATIERRA., Martín. Percutaneous treatment of psoas muscle abscess secondary to spondylodiscitis. Cir. parag. [online]. 2022, vol.46, n.3, pp.37-39. ISSN 2307-0420.  https://doi.org/10.18004/sopaci.2022.diciembre.37.

The objective of the following study is to describe the percutaneous treatment of psoas muscle abscess, a rare entity with nonspecific clinical presentation, which stands as a diagnostic challenge. Its detection has improved with the use of imaging modalities. Fever, abdominal pain, and ipsilateral lower limb pain are the most common clinical signs. Antibiotic therapy together with drainage (percutaneous or surgical) should be considered the treatment of choice.

Keywords : Iliopsoas abscess; Spondylodiscitis; Percutaneous drainage.
