Abstract:
Difficulties of diagnosis and of an adequate treatment of psoas muscle abscesses are increased by the evolution of the suppurative process in diabetic patients. We review 3 cases of poses muscle abscesses, characterized by a long-term evolution until revealing the initial source of the abscess and by particular clinical features, due to the exteriorization of suppuration far away from its source (retrosacral, hip, thigh). Computerized tomography is essential for diagnosis and for an accurate therapeutical approach, consisting in incision and drainage of primary abscess in psoas muscle and of its expansions as well in the same time, with an adequate antibiotherapy.
