Abstract:
Since the antibiotherapy for tuberculosis, psoas abscess is an infrequent disease. The psoas abscess can be divided in primary and secondary, being the primary the most infrequent. We present two other cases of primary psoas abscess treated in our hospital. We review also the symptoms, the diagnosis and the therapy of this disease.
Insights
Primary psoas abscess is a rare condition, even after tuberculosis treatment. This review covers symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of primary psoas abscess, presenting two new cases.
Area of Science:
- Infectious Diseases
- Surgical Pathology
Background:
- Psoas abscess is an infrequent condition, particularly primary psoas abscess, following tuberculosis antibiotherapy.
- Primary psoas abscess represents the less common form of this pathology.
Observation:
- Two additional cases of primary psoas abscess were treated at our institution.
- The study reviews the clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, and therapeutic strategies for psoas abscess.
Findings:
- Psoas abscesses are rare, with primary cases being exceptionally infrequent.
- The review encompasses a comprehensive analysis of symptoms, diagnostic approaches, and treatment options.
Implications:
- This review contributes to understanding the rare primary psoas abscess.
- It highlights the importance of considering psoas abscess in differential diagnoses.
- Further research may refine diagnostic and therapeutic protocols for this uncommon condition.
